Thinking about levelling up your gaming experience with a custom-built PC? You’re not alone! At Lithgeek, we get heaps of gamers from Lithgow, Katoomba, Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo walking in with dreams of building their ultimate gaming machine. But before you dive headfirst into the world of RGB lighting and turbo-charged graphics cards, let’s talk about what really matters when choosing a custom gaming computer.
🎮 1. What Games Do You Actually Play?
Not all games demand the same power. Are you into fast-paced first-person shooters like Call of Duty or Apex Legends? You’ll want a high refresh-rate monitor and a beefy graphics card. More into story-rich RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077? Then you’ll benefit from faster load times and a solid CPU-GPU combo.
If your gaming taste leans toward Minecraft, Stardew Valley, or even classic Doom, you won’t need a top-of-the-line setup—but hey, no judgment if you still want that RGB glow show!
🧩 2. How Are You Going to Use your gaming PC?
Gaming might be the goal, but what else are you planning to do?
- Streaming on Twitch or YouTube? You’ll need extra RAM and a strong CPU to keep things running smoothly.
- 3D modelling or video editing? A powerful GPU and plenty of fast storage (like NVMe SSDs) will be your best mates.
- Basic use and the occasional game night with mates? We can design something balanced, affordable, and still uniquely yours.
Knowing how you’ll use your PC helps us make smart, future-proof suggestions without wasting your cash.
🖥️ 3. Where Are You Going to Put It?
This one’s often overlooked. Are you setting up in a tiny nook, a shared lounge, or building the ultimate battlestation in your room?
The size and style of your case matters! A full tower might look impressive but could be overkill for a compact space. Want something silent? We’ve got cases with noise-dampening panels. Looking for flashy RGB lighting and a windowed case to show off your build? We’re all over that too—plus, we can mod your case with bananas, steampunk vibes, or whatever theme you’re into.
🧠 4. What’s More Important: Price or Patience?
We’re a small, honest crew here at 85 Main Street Lithgow. That means we don’t always have parts on the shelf, but we do have the expertise to order the best gear for your needs.
We treat every build like a work of geeky art—crafted with care, customised to your personality, and built to perform. Yes, it might take a few extra days. But your dream gaming PC is worth the wait.
💬 Let’s Talk—Really
At Lithgeek, we don’t throw jargon at you or upsell you on things you don’t need. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or just starting out, we take the time to explain everything and help you make the right choices.
So, pop in wearing your favourite geeky shirt (you might get a discount 😉), have a yarn with us, and let’s design your dream rig together. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about having a gaming PC—it’s about having your gaming PC.
