We would like to invite you: Start our PC configurator now and experience yourself what is possible.

Our tip: Consider in advance which requirements your future dream PC should fulfill after assembling. Then you can start right away and configure the PC based on your needs. What do you need for an efficient gaming PC that convinces with a low price? It would be advisable to choose a processor in the performance range of the Intel Core i3 or i5 or the counterpart from AMD, the Ryzen 3 to 5. If you work from home, you'll want a powerful home & office computer, which you can directly equip with all important office applications. An Intel Core i7 would certainly be too powerful for home office use. For standard office tasks, it is more important that the computer runs quietly with special fans and an SSD hard drive. An SSD ensures that the operating system and programs start without unnecessary waiting time. If you use your computer for image editing, graphics card, processor and RAM should provide sufficient performance in any case. An average dedicated graphics card is sufficient for image editing. The situation is different for video editing. Here, a premium graphics card should be used so that the CPU can outsource certain processes to it. Therefore, our PC configurator directly checks the compatibility of your selection. In this way, you can avoid expensive investments that you can't do anything with. Whether CPU, memory or drive, you are always on the safe side when configuring your PC with us. In addition, the PC configurator offers you the possibility to set a price limit right at the beginning and to configure your PC based on this price limit.
