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.
Check live prices before buying
Prices shown are street price estimates for reference only — they change frequently. Use the retailer links to check current pricing before purchasing. BuildRanked does not sell hardware.
