Question 1

Why should I use a comparison tool before building my PC?

Accepted Answer

Comparing PC components helps you make informed decisions by seeing specifications side-by-side. You can evaluate performance metrics, prices, and features across multiple options to find the best component for your budget and needs. Our comparison tool highlights above-average and below-average specifications, making it easy to identify the best value components for your PC build.

Question 2

How does the comparison tool integrate with the PC builder?

Accepted Answer

After comparing components, you can seamlessly transition to our PC builder by clicking "Start Building" or "Use in Build" buttons. Your selected component will be automatically added to your build, and you can continue selecting compatible components. The builder offers both guided and advanced modes to match your experience level.

Question 3

What's the difference between the guided and advanced builder?

Accepted Answer

The Guided Builder is perfect for first-time PC builders, offering step-by-step guidance through each component selection with automatic compatibility checking and budget optimization. The Advanced Builder gives experienced users complete control to select components in any order with detailed specifications and advanced compatibility tools. Both builders ensure all your components work together perfectly.

Question 4

Can I compare components while building my PC?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our comparison tool works alongside the PC builder. You can browse our catalog, compare up to 4 components of the same type, and then add your preferred choice directly to your build. This integrated workflow helps you research thoroughly while building efficiently.

Question 5

How many components can I compare at once?

Accepted Answer

You can compare up to 4 components of the same type simultaneously. This allows for comprehensive side-by-side evaluation of specifications, performance metrics, and pricing without overwhelming you with too many options. Our comparison charts and tables make it easy to spot differences across all selected components.

Question 6

What do the performance indicators mean?

Accepted Answer

Our comparison tool shows whether each specification is "Above Average," "Average," or "Below Average" compared to all components of that type in our database. Green indicators show above-average performance, while the comparison helps you understand how each component stacks up against the market. This makes it easier to identify exceptional values or premium options.
