How the PC Builder works
Set your budget
Enter any amount from $300 to $20,000. BuildRanked allocates it across GPU, CPU, RAM, and SSD using ratios tuned for your chosen use case — gaming builds go GPU-heavy; productivity builds shift weight to CPU and RAM.
Choose a use case
Gaming prioritises the GPU for maximum frame rates. Productivity prioritises CPU cores and RAM capacity for video editing, rendering, and compilation. Balanced splits evenly for general use and light gaming.
Compare three tiers
Each component slot shows budget, balanced, and performance options — products priced at roughly 70%, 100%, and 135% of the allocation target. Mix tiers across components to find the right trade-offs for your build.
Buy at the best price
Prices shown are MSRP estimates. Use the Amazon, eBay, and Newegg links (US) or Amazon, eBay, and Scan links (UK) to check live street prices before purchasing.
BuildRanked is a free, informational tool. Always verify component compatibility and current pricing before buying. Full disclaimer →
