How to Upgrade PCs in Compshop
Why PC Upgrades Matter
PC parts are the engine of your Compshop income. Every CPU, GPU, RAM stick, and peripheral you install increases how much customers pay per session and how many players your shop can serve simultaneously. Neglecting upgrades leaves you earning a fraction of what optimized shops make.
Compshop uses a gacha-style pull system for many parts, where luck potions dramatically improve your odds of getting high-tier components. Understanding this system separates efficient builders from those who waste cash on common parts.
PC Part Categories
Compshop PC builds include several component categories. Each category contributes differently to your shop's performance. Focus on parts that directly boost customer payments before chasing rare cosmetic peripherals.
- CPU — core processing power, affects base income per customer.
- GPU — graphics performance, significant income multiplier at higher tiers.
- RAM — capacity for running games, affects customer session quality.
- Storage — SSD and HDD options, minor income boost but cheap entry upgrades.
- Peripherals — mousepads, keyboards, monitors; newer additions with varied bonuses.
- Case — the PC chassis, determines slot capacity and aesthetic appeal.
Recommended Upgrade Priority
Follow this general priority order for the best return on investment. Adjust based on what parts you pull from the gacha system.
- 1. Unlock additional PC slots — more stations equals more parallel income.
- 2. Upgrade GPU — highest income impact per peso spent at most tiers.
- 3. Upgrade CPU — solid secondary income boost.
- 4. Add RAM — cheap upgrades with steady returns.
- 5. Install peripherals like mousepads — new content with moderate bonuses.
- 6. Cosmetic decorations — only after income is stable.
Using Luck Potions for Upgrades
When pulling for new parts, always activate a luck potion first. The Ultra Lucky Potion from the Wnowell code offers the best odds for legendary-tier components. Double Lucky Potions from Pogisiren are ideal for shorter pull sessions.
Read our detailed rare parts guide for timing and stacking strategies. Never pull for parts without a potion active — the odds difference is substantial.
Budget Planning for Upgrades
Set a simple rule: never spend more than 50% of your total cash on a single part unless it unlocks a new PC slot. Keep a cash buffer for food restocks and decoration purchases during events.
During x2 Cash events, push aggressive upgrades since you replenish cash faster. Outside events, focus on one category at a time rather than spreading cash thin across random pulls.
Advanced Upgrade Tips
Compare your parts against the tier list on our PC parts reference page. Replace common-tier parts immediately when you pull uncommon or higher. Keep one backup station with basic parts so you never have zero income during upgrade transitions.
Visit top shops on your server to see which parts high-ranking players prioritize. The beta meta shifts with each update, so stay flexible.
