As someone confined to using a laptop in real life, I have to say this is the perfect game for me. 27 hours in, it already gave me a solid understanding of how to build a desktop PC, a topic I never had any experience with before. I even started reading articles about airflow management because I wanted to learn more! (The game doesn't seem to care too much about airflow, as long as you have enough fans; also, case fans are always installed in the correct orientation automatically.) Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn about PC building, or to anyone who just wants to build a lot of PCs without buying the real hardware.

P.S.: I managed to squeeze a 980 Ti into the "future LoL pro" kid's $800 first build, and now he's come back asking for an upgrade so he can get a 3DMark score of 3000; but the first build already had 4538. I'm so proud of myself, lol.
