Why Build a Pink Gaming PC and not buy one?
There are dozens of reasons why you may want to build your very own pink gaming PC rather that buying a prebuilt one off the shelf.
Firstly, it almost always costs less! When you buy a prebuilt machine they usually charge a lot on top of the cost of the parts for things like labour, shipping etc, which you can avoid when you build your own pink gaming PC.
Additionally, there is way more in the way of customisation! If you like a certain case, or want to have RGB RAM (Yes, it is worth the money 😉 ) then the best route you can possibly go down is to build your own PC.
I’ve built at least 6 or 7 gaming PCs in the last few years, for myself, friends and family and they are always surprised by how easy it is. You might feel a little daunted at first but if a clumsy person like me can figure it out, I’m sure you will be absolutely fine.
Another reason to build your own Pink Gaming PC rather than buy one is that you know that no corners have been cut. Not naming any names, but if you see a prebuilt gaming PC for sale that seems a little too cheap, it’s usually because they’ve cut corners on super important hardware like the motherboard and power supply. Not getting a top rated power supply is actually much more risky, because if it blows it has a higher chance of damaging your expensive GPU on its way out.

What Parts Do I Need to Build a Gaming PC in Pink?
Building a super cute kawaii pink gaming PC is just like any other gaming PC build, although you may want to set aside a little extra budget for some fancier RGB components and some good quality pink spraypaint for the case. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of components that don’t come in a pink variant, so you’re left with the option of either painting it pink yourself or trying to find an RGB or white version, which will help fit into the overall pink theme a bit better.
In terms of parts, you will need the following at minimum. You will also need a monitor, keyboard and mouse but I’ve covered that in this article. This is just specifically the tower itself.
- CPU
- CPU Cooler
- Thermal Compound
- Motherboard
- Memory
- Storage
- GPU
- Case
- Power Supply
- Case Fans
Using this as a basic shopping list will help make sure you get all the parts you need.
Compatibility of my Pink Gaming PC Parts
When ordering a list of parts from Amazon, it’s important to make sure the parts are all compatible with eachother.
The main things to ask yourself are this:
- Will the graphics card fit in my pink gaming pc case?
- Will the Power supply be big enough for all my components?
- Does my motherboard support the Type of RAM I am using?
- Does my CPU cooler fit on the CPU type I have?
- Does my CPU work with this type of motherboard?
- Will my Case Fans fit in the case?
- Can I make this even more pink? 🙂
It might seem like a lot at first but once you’ve been doing a little bit of research you will find it really easy to get a list of compatible parts for your Pink Gaming PC build.
