Building a computer from scratch is an adventure, as it allows you to build a workstation adapted to the particular needs of your user. However, this could be a complex task for those who do not master the knowledge required to avoid bumps along the way.
As a help, even for those more experienced users, it introduces PC Builder, a web platform that helps to select and quote the components of the PC you want to assemble, piece by piece.
An improved component quotator
PC Builder’s proposal is far from being a mere aggregator of items for sale or price comparison. Its added value lies in that in addition to allowing quoting components for the assembly of a computer, it also checks the compatibility between the selected parts, to avoid bad surprises later.
This verification process is one of the great challenges that arise when acquiring the necessary components for the assembly of a team. Even if the person behind this task has sufficient background or experience in this, today, despite the facilities available to access certain information, some manufacturers have left gaps in this area.
With this background, the work of PC Builder takes a greater imprint, as its compatibility analyses between parts are based, in addition to the background expressly shared in the official documentation of each device, in case-specific data found only in other help forums, specialized portals and also offline sources, such as manuals or instructions.
With this large database available, searches can be made through a more convenient and reliable route.
This platform allows to completely customize the computer to build, allowing to quote processors, motherboards, CPU coolers, cabinets, graphics card, RAM, energy storage, software, monitor and wiring.
To the extent that components are added, the quote list will be updated with the parts that are added, plus their corresponding compatibility notes and prices. This quote can be embedded in a website thanks to a tool provided by the same platform and also, you can share with anyone a link to the settings you set up.
Apart from this tool to customize the construction of a computer, PC Builder has some preconfigured proposals and another section specially dedicated to laptops.
A project born out of empathy
In the presentation of PC Builder, its creators commented that the inspiration arose from an experience they had around the setting up of a PC Gamer, not without difficulties, especially in terms of compatibility issues.
After a year, looking for a solution to difficulties like this, which arise as a result of the lack of up-to-date information and easy access on the web.
As a complement, this platform has a forum, in which its user community can exchange experiences, raise or answer questions and make contributions to the same platform.
Even if you’re not looking for the ultimate purpose of setting up a complete computer, the site has a component browser, which will allow you to navigate through 21 different categories.
If you want to explore this interesting platform, you can find it next to some complementary data in PcBuilder.net.
