great offers available in 2026. Its membership service, PriorityCare+, can transform the experience for both new and experienced builders. You can enter the store and request, “I need a setup that can run ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ smoothly.” The team assists in selecting compatible components, installs necessary drivers, assembles your gaming rig, and performs a test run.

However, this tailored technology comes at a price, since a setup that supports flight or racing games at high framerates can cost a significant amount. Ensuring your computer is equipped to handle any game you choose is where Micro Center’s PriorityCare+ proves valuable.

The membership fee is $139 for the first year, and $9.99 per month thereafter. Yes, that’s your hard-earned cash going towards another service, but the advantages can be substantial for dedicated gamers. PriorityCare+ assists not just with hardware.

Occasionally, the components may not work as intended for your setup, or they may fail to perform adequately, necessitating a swap. PriorityCare+ extends the return window for most items bought at Micro Center. This additional time is crucial: Some issues with a PC build might not manifest immediately. It could be only during an intense moment fighting the Hive Lord in “Helldivers 2,” surrounded by bullets and explosions, that you notice lag.

Suddenly, your GPU starts overheating, and your game begins to stutter, eventually crashing. You come to realize that improved cooling is needed to maintain a lower temperature and a power supply that can handle the demand. Micro Center’s standard return policy allows for 15 days for computers, processors, and motherboards, but PriorityCare+ extends this timeframe.

This means that three weeks into playing “Helldivers 2,” you still have the option to return your items.
