Ordering a custom gaming PC is an exciting investment—but with so many parts and options, it can feel overwhelming. At Z Gaming PCs, we want to help you make informed decisions so you get the best performance and value for your budget.
Here’s what to consider before placing your order:

| High-end 4K or competitive FPS | $1,800–$2,500+ |
Be sure to factor in peripherals (monitor, keyboard, etc.), Windows license, and taxes/shipping.
