How to Use PC Builder to Build Your Custom Computer?

Building your own PC is a time-taking process but not anymore with our easy-to-use online PC builder. This tool helps you select all the crucial components for your computer like CPU, GPU, RAM, OS, Storage, etc., and then gives you an estimate on how much it would cost. It also walks you through the process of assembling them into a working computer.

To make the selection process simpler for you, the tool fetches the overall users' ratings for various options of each component with various compatibility filters (which is very important.) Let's see how you can build your custom PC in just a few steps using our tool.

PC Builder: How To Use? [Step-by-Step Guide]

Our PC builder tool UI is pretty straightforward to use. Just follow these steps to select individual components and build your PC

Click on "+ Choose (Component Name)" next to the component you wish to add.

Click on the "Add" button next to the CPU you selected to add to your component list and move to the next one.

Pick a CPU

Start with picking a CPU and browse the available options. For your ease, we have picked and mentioned the top-rated AMD and Intel core processors on top. Depending on your requirements and workload, you can select how many cores you require in your CPU. For moderate or basic work requirements, a single or dual-core CPU with a clock speed 2.9GHz to 3.5 GHz would be enough.

However, for running heavy software and multitasking, go for a CPU with four or more cores with boosted clock speed for faster processing. We have listed some CPUs having integrated GPUs for low or basic work requirements like surfing, browsing, emailing, etc. However, if you have intensive work or gaming requirements, you can go for a standalone GPU and CPU.

Pick a CPU Cooler

Getting the right CPU cooler for your PC is crucial to avoid overheating while running heavy apps or multitasking. Depending upon the TDP (Thermal Design Power) of your CPU determine how much cooling would be sufficient for it and choose the CPU cooler accordingly.

Pick a Motherboard

From MSI to Asus, Biostar, Gigabyte, and Intel, we have listed the top-performing motherboards for you. Based on the form factor (how large is your PC case or space you have), choose among the Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, and ATX.

Check how many memory slots it has along with its CPU socket compatibility to pick the right one that supports your processor and work requirements.

Pick a RAM

The higher the RAM you choose, the faster your PC works. But the RAM size depends upon your multitasking requirements. If you don't have heavy multitasking requirements, don't go for higher RAM that costs you more.

Also, while choosing RAM, check its latency as it determines the data transfer and processing rate between the processor and the RAM. The lower the latency, the faster the performance.

Pick a Storage

From 64 GB to 10 TB, we have listed all the available storage options for you. You can choose the storage type compatible with your motherboard interface. The higher the storage is, the more data, apps, and software you can install and store. However, you have to pay more price for it.

Pick a Operating System

It is better to go for a pre-installed OS for your custom PC. From Microsoft Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro, we have listed all the best available options for various price ranges. You can check the maximum supported memory and ratings to choose the suitable one for your PC.

Pick a Monitor

After adding all the required components for your PC, look at the "Compatibility Issues" at the right sidebar

If there is no compatibility issue, you can buy all the added components at once by clicking on "Buy all at Once" option at the bottom or buy each one of them separately on Amazon using the buy option next to that component.

If you are not ready to buy instantly, you can save your build, using the "save as" button and then share the link with your friends and family for suggestions.

Features

Some remarkable features that make our PC builder tool unique and easy to use from others are

Shareable Link

Our tool lets you save the build anonymously, without logging in. Enter the build name and its description for your reference and save changes. Copy the generated shareable link to share it anywhere.

Compatibility Filter

As you enable the compatibility filter, the tool showcase you only those options in a particular component that are compatible with other components. This way, we ensure that components are compatible with each other for the optimal performance of your PC.

Filters for Various components

Depending upon the component you choose, the tool offers you various filters on the left sidebar to sort and filter your choices. You can narrow down options based on their price range, ratings, manufacturers, color, chipset, memory size and so on. With these filters, the selection process becomes more effortless and quick.
