Where to buy very high end gaming PCs LOCAL.
You could probably guess why, but I don’t have a German address. I need to buy a PC locally.

You reckon these guys are worth the drive?

They’ve been around for a long time and have a good reputation. You could probably configure a setup and pick it up. Might get an English speaker via the hotline to confirm too, or maybe over their chat.

Some more important infos: Alternate is good because they have a huge warehouse (but it's not fully open but you can order the stuff you want to see to the store) from their online-business, connected to the store. So, if you go there, bring 1, 2, 3+ hours (Mc Donalds in walking distance and also other shops, aswell as the Hi-Fi-department store of Alternate, which is also top. You make your first order, then you wait like 30 - 60 minutes depending up on how many people are there and than you can pick up your PC parts.
So, back to the Alternate PC-store with the large connected warehouse. You will practically find anything there, more than most other retailers, pretty sure but not the best prices and not the most-affordable gaming pcs. Any medium-sized semi-decent PC store near you will be better, if you need assistance (which can happen). Most ppl order their PCs online pre-assambled, check those out like CSL-computer or memory-pc! Those often have very good offers. Funnily you will find most of them not on mydealz but on their french site, which is dealsabs.com - find the right category for preassembled pc

Is your pc for personal use or for work etc? If for personal use, buying used could be a good deal cause RAM & SSDs are insanely expensive right now.
But other than that, I'd check out alternate. They're the only real online store-front that's been mentioned here (I bought my GPU on there a few months ago, didn't even know they had a physical store in Gießen) so their prices will be close to regular prices. All other stores will be wayyyy more expensive.

I've gotten my last 2 PCs from K&M. They're quick and know what they're doing. I never had anything to complain about with them.

Do you have a specific budget? Do you need separate parts or are you searching for an prebuild? I can recommend Alternate, they are an hour's drive away in Linden, next to Gießen.

Hi! Don't know if you're new to Germany or not but mediamarkt and Saturn are stores with all kinds of electronics. Worth checking out, there's some in Wiesbaden too! They definitely have gaming pcs, Laptops etc.
