It's About to Get Harder to Buy a Gaming PC - Gizmodo

Buying a new graphics card is already hard enough, but for folks living in a handful of states, ordering pre-built systems from some PC makers just got a lot more difficult due to newly implemented energy regulations.

Just this week, a user on Reddit posted a thread containing a screenshot from Dell’s website saying that, due to power consumption regulations, Dell would not be able to ship an Aurora pre-built desktop PC to California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.

When it comes to pre-built desktop PCs, while the CEC does allow for higher power draw for systems with discrete graphics and other power-hungry components—systems made after July 1, 2021 are restricted to a max power draw of 75 kWh/yr with some wiggle room based on the specific config—it seems a number of high-end systems from other manufacturers may soon have to contend with energy regulations, too.
