Compix: gaming PCs in Telegram

Buying a gaming computer often turns into a quest: dozens of shops, identical builds at different prices, and the nagging doubt that you are overpaying for a pretty case. "Compix" (Компикс) put a gaming PC catalog right inside Telegram, so you can browse builds and discounts in one app. 🖥️

The shop claims prices below the market. The easiest way to check is yourself: compare a catalog configuration with the total of parts you could assemble on your own.

What you will find in the app

The bot's invitation is short: open the app to see the catalog and current discounts. The bot has no commands, and everything happens in the Mini App.

Inside are ready-made gaming computers. The shop also says you can buy in installments or in parts through a split payment, and that customer reviews of ready PCs are collected in its channel. Ask support about terms and timing before paying.

How to read specs without missing

Judge a ready-made PC by four components, not by the advertising name of the model. They decide how many frames you get in games.

• Graphics card. The key part for gaming. Match the model and video memory to your monitor, because Full HD and 4K need different cards.
• Processor. It should not choke the graphics card. A weak processor with an expensive card is wasted money.
• Memory. For modern games people usually take at least 16 GB in dual-channel mode.
• Storage. You want an SSD: games load many times faster than from a hard disk.

Power supply and cooling: where savings hide

These are the parts that can be cheapest in ready-made builds. Ask for the power supply brand, wattage and efficiency rating. A poor power supply can damage the rest of the hardware.

Cooling is the same story: a good cooler and a case with real airflow matter more than lighting. Questions to the seller are useful, and an honest shop answers them directly. 💬

Five steps before you pay

1. Open the catalog and pick two or three builds in your budget.
2. Write down each build's graphics card, processor, memory and storage, then find game benchmarks for them.
3. Message support to clarify warranty terms, return conditions and delivery method.
4. Find out who services the warranty: the shop itself or the parts manufacturers.
5. Do not prepay without a contract or receipt, and after delivery run a stress test on the system.

Installments: when they pay off

Paying in parts is handy if you need a computer now. But read the terms: look for extra charges, fees and late penalties.

Calculate the final amount and compare it with the full-payment price. If the gap is noticeable, waiting and saving a little may be smarter. 🙂

A note on the name

Many shops online have a similar name, "CompX," and they are different companies. Reviews you find may belong to another business. Read only those that clearly refer to this Telegram shop, and prefer independent platforms to the shop's own channel.

The app has about 25 thousand users, which is enough to look for real buyer feedback before you order.
