Three fresh gaming builds for an ATX system: Budget (1080p), Value (1440p), High End (4K). All reuse your existing case.
Add a high-capacity NVMe SSD to expand storage for creator projects, addressing the most immediate bottleneck without altering core performance.
Three builds for a balanced, reliable PC for gaming and creator workloads, starting from scratch with an ATX case.
Swap the RX 9070 XT for an RTX 4080 Super to gain superior ray tracing and CUDA acceleration for creator workloads, while keeping the rest of the build untouched. This single-part upgrade o…
Three builds for general gaming, creator, and workstation use, from entry-level to flagship, all in ATX form factor.
Swap the GPU to RTX 5080 for better ray tracing and NVIDIA productivity features without touching the motherboard or PSU. This is the most focused gain within your selected targets.
How It Works
Start with what you want the PC to do, then describe your current rig. We do the benchmarking, compatibility math, and tier ranking so you can decide what to buy.
Gaming, creator, or workstation? Start with the workload so the whole flow knows what performance actually means for you.
Tell us your CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard. Pick from suggestions or type part names.
Set your budget, brand preferences, and region. We respect your constraints.
We benchmark your rig, score it against your workload, and suggest upgrades in Budget, Value, and High-End tiers.
Why MaxMyFrames
The boring stuff — compatibility, PSU headroom, socket math — handled. The interesting stuff — ranked, scored, explained — surfaced first.
Every recommendation maps to a real, purchasable component. No theoretical builds.
Socket, RAM generation, form factor, PSU headroom — we check it all before recommending.
Budget, Value, and High-End options so you can pick what fits your wallet.
Your current rig gets a 0–100 Gear Score per workload, so you see exactly where it falls short.
Every suggested upgrade shows the projected score improvement, so you know the impact before you buy.
The hardware catalog refreshes weekly with the latest CPUs, GPUs, and components.
Snapshot-backed parts data refreshed weekly.
CPUs, GPUs, RAM kits, and boards mapped into one upgrade graph.
No email wall. Your session stays in your browser.
Workload Profiles
The same parts are not the right answer for everyone. We weigh CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage differently per workload, so the upgrade plan matches what you actually do.
Smooth frames, low latency, fast asset loads.
Faster renders, snappy timelines, smooth previews.
Viewport fluency, AI/ML headroom, simulations, and export stability.
Questions
MaxMyFrames is a PC upgrade advisor. You tell it what hardware you have, what you use the PC for, and which constraints matter. It turns that into practical upgrade guidance instead of a generic parts list.
The goal is to help you decide what to upgrade first, what can wait, and where compatibility or budget could get in the way.
Yes. The public configurator is free to use right now. You do not need a paid plan or trial to generate an upgrade recommendation.
MaxMyFrames combines catalog data, compatibility rules, workload priorities, and AI-assisted explanation to produce useful guidance. It is designed to be a decision helper, not an authority that replaces checking real retailer pages and manufacturer specs.
Before buying, verify case clearance, motherboard BIOS support, PSU cables, warranty terms, and the final retailer price.
The configurator tracks core constraints such as CPU socket, motherboard memory type, form factor, RAM generation, estimated power headroom, and workload fit. It also flags obvious bottlenecks like pairing a very old CPU with a much stronger GPU.
Compatibility is still a real-world checklist. Use the recommendation as a strong starting point, then confirm exact dimensions and support lists for the parts you choose.
Prices are estimates based on available catalog and region data. They can move quickly because PC hardware pricing depends on stock, retailer, country, sales, and currency.
Treat prices as planning guidance. Always check the current checkout price before buying.
MaxMyFrames needs your selected hardware, workload goals, rough budget, and region choice to produce useful advice. Region is used to choose market context such as currency and likely retailer availability, not to identify you personally.
Browser progress can be stored locally on your device. Generated recommendations may be retained so the service can show summaries, debug bad advice, and improve quality. Do not enter secrets, serial numbers, or personal notes into free-text fields.
No. Recommendations should be based on fit: compatibility, workload impact, budget, and component value. Affiliate availability is not supposed to make a bad part look good or hide a better option.
MaxMyFrames is independent and is not sponsored, endorsed, certified, operated, or supported by Amazon. If a recommendation looks wrong, use the feedback page so it can be reviewed.
