I want to buy a prebuilt gaming PC but my apartment is very dusty. I don't want dust to build up in the PC.

Ideally I would buy a gaming PC that uses positive air pressure and intake dust filter but gaming PCs don't seem to come with that option, even the custom ones (e.g. from ibuypower or cyberpowerpc).

Suggestions?
 
Either move the fans yourself to create positive airflow (which only helps so much), or add dust filters to all vents, not just the intake.
That said, you are going to have to clean the PC regularly, positive airflow or not.
 
Keep the computer off the floor. That'll help a lot with the dust buildup.

If you have central heating or AC. Use a decent air filter. Put the thermostat in the on position instead of auto. This way it'll act like an air filter 24/7 for your whole apartment. Otherwise get some air filters.

Build a custom case with a hepa filtration system. Did this when I tried out mining. So, that the mining rig in my garage wouldn't get loaded with spiders and sawdust. Worked great not a speck of dust inside.
