How it works
Start with your workload and current parts
Describe your rig
List the CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, and power supply already in your PC.
Set your guardrails
Exclude parts that miss your budget, region, case, or brand preferences.
Upgrade plan
What to upgrade first
The highest-priority upgrade targets the part limiting your workload most. Lower-priority changes can wait.
- Current bottlenecks in priority order
- Budget, Value, and High-end alternatives
- Compatibility checks before buying
Hardware checks
Parts that fit your PC and workload
Real catalog parts
Specific CPUs, GPUs, boards, memory kits, and PSUs replace vague performance tiers.
Compatibility checks
Socket, memory type, form factor, and PSU headroom rule out mismatched parts.
Scored impact
Gear Scores rank the weakest parts of the current build against the chosen workload.
Builds and guides
Choose a complete build or plan one upgrade
Compare parts by workload, then check dimensions, power, and current prices before buying.

Fit, price, and data use
CPU socket, motherboard memory type, form factor, RAM generation, estimated power headroom, and workload fit determine which parts remain compatible. A much stronger GPU can also expose an older CPU bottleneck.
Confirm exact dimensions, motherboard BIOS and CPU support, and PSU cables before buying.
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.
Your selected hardware, workload, rough budget, and region are used to prepare the result. Region sets currency and likely retailer availability; it is not used to identify you personally.
