The Irregular Corporation, one of the developers and the publisher of the game "PC Building Simulator," revealed that the game will launch its Steam Early Access on March 27.

PC Gamer reported the news on March 1.

According to the Steam page of the game, "PC Building Simulator" is exactly what the title says it is — it is a game about diagnosing, repairing and building personal computers (PCs). "PC Building Simulator" teaches players how to build PCs with step-by-step instructions that explain the order of how parts should be assembled and provide necessary information on each part is as well as its function.

Players will also be able to build their dream PC. The Free Build mode in the game allows players to experiment with a huge selection of accurately modeled, fully licensed parts from real-world PC manufacturers (as of the moment, the game is in partnership with Cooler Master, EVGA Corporation, Futuremark, Micro-Star International (MSI), NZXT and Raijintek). Perhaps, one of the most interesting features of the game is the Career mode, which allows players to manage their own PC-building and repair shops. Players will be tasked to accomplish various jobs provided by customers — from simple upgrades and repairs to full system build which should be completed while balancing players' book to ensure that they are still making a profit.

The minimum system requirements for the upcoming Early Access are as follows — operating system (OS) of Windows 7 or higher; Core i3 3.1 GHz or AMD Phenom II X3 2.8 GHz processor; 4 GB random-access memory (RAM); GeForce GTX 560 or Radeon HD6870 with 2 GB video RAM (VRAM) graphics card; DirectX Version 9.0c; 1 GB available storage space; and a DirectX-compatible sound card.

Interested players may download the demo for "PC Building Simulator" while waiting for its Early Access launch.
