FPS numbers, up front
A CPU and GPU are all it takes to get expected FPS in popular games, at 1080p, 1440p and 4K.
PC build calculator
Plan your PC before you spend a dollar
Choose a CPU and GPU and see estimated FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and which of the two runs out of headroom first. The stores we track here sell memory, cases, storage, cooling and peripherals, priced in US dollars.
Your build
Start with the first step.
How many FPS will your build get?
Start with the two parts that decide your frame rate: the CPU and the GPU. Add your memory and PSU wattage if you want those checked too. You get an estimated frame rate for each game at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and a read on which part runs out of headroom first.

What you know before you order
Whether it all fits
Each pick is tested on socket, DDR type, case room and PSU wattage. Anything that cannot work drops off the list.
A number you can budget around
Each part shows a price in US dollars, before sales tax, and whether it is in stock, refreshed at least twice a day.
Three steps to a parts list
Choose the CPU and GPU
They set your frame rates, and the rest of the list narrows to whatever works with them.
Fill in the rest
Board, RAM, cooler, case, PSU, storage. Power draw is added up and each pick is verified along the way.
Check out at the store
Follow the link beside each part to the store's own page, and read its total and delivery terms before you pay.
Questions we get
Do the prices include sales tax?
No. We list prices before sales tax, since the rate depends on your state, and convert them to US dollars (that is what the ≈ means). They come from store product feeds at least twice a day. Few parts have a second seller here yet, so this is not a full price comparison: shop around if price is what matters most. This site is run by MB „Variantai“, a Lithuanian company.
What does this cost me?
Nothing at all. Stores that sign up pay us for clicks through to their site. That does not raise the price you pay, and offers are ordered by price alone.
Can I still end up with parts that do not fit?
The builder blocks mismatches on CPU socket, memory type, case size and cooler height, which are the ones that keep a PC from going together, and warns if the PSU looks short on wattage. Check exact dimensions yourself if your build is unusually tight.
