Practical Tools for Choosing a PC, Planning Upgrades, and Checking Requirements

Use these tools when choosing a new PC, reviewing an existing configuration, or checking what specifications a workload requires.

Available Tools

  • PC Spec Planner

    Select how you plan to use the PC and compare three levels of suggested specifications: Baseline, Recommended, and Extra headroom.

  • 3D Rendering Performance Comparison

    Compare the observed medians and sample sizes of two products measured under the same condition. Results from different conditions are not combined.

  • PC Part Specifications Comparison

    Compare recorded official specifications for CPUs, GPUs, memory, SSDs, and power supplies within the same category.

  • PSU Wattage & Connector Checker

    Calculate the required PSU capacity from component power and check PSU capacity and connector conditions.

  • PC Parts Compatibility Checker

    Compare published specifications for CPUs, motherboards, memory, GPUs, cases, CPU coolers, SSDs, and power supplies to identify compatible, conditional, incompatible, and insufficient-data results.
