Neutral hardware decision platform

Build the right PC. Buy it at the right price.

Describe what you need. You get three complete, compatible configurations, the reasoning behind every part, an explicit compatibility certificate and a comparison of retailer offers.

  • Parts are chosen by a deterministic optimizer under hard budget and compatibility constraints — not by a language model.
  • Every number on a product page carries its source, retrieval date and confidence.
  • We are not a store. Offers link out to retailers and we take no payment.

Why this build

  • Cinder CX-7800 XT at 1440p (2560 × 1440) returns Aurora Protocol 83.3 fps, Circuit Legends 233.1 fps average against your 165 Hz target.
  • The build totals $1541.9 of your $1600 budget, leaving $58.1 unspent (96.4% used).
  • This is the strongest performance-per-dollar combination in the catalog at $1541.9; every cheaper build in the search either lost frame rate or failed a compatibility rule.
