Thanks. All valid feedback
> Can you make the titlebar change as the price changes?
Yes, that seems to be possible. I'll add it to the todo list.
> Why is the cheapest case $108 and PSU $70?
That should not be like that. I guess for the case this can happen when the cooler or the gpu is very large and it has no remaining other option. I'll check whether the data is correct, but I expect that problem to go away when the newegg API works better. As you noticed there are still some problems (they don't take EANs and the manufacturer-sku sometimes produces different products than expected).
I thought about adding a second list with the components that don't fit currently, and that will replace the non-fitting component with something like a closest match.
For the psu, there suddenly seem to be holes in the offer-database for the US. Very bad timing. The german version now gives a better impression on how that should work...
> I'm surprised by the omission of the Pentium G4560 as a midrange CPU.
Midrange is the wrong word for that one :) I mean that positively, is has a great performance for its price. It's just either not listed or not in stock and thus ignored. If it becomes available again it should show up shortly after, the system does know it, and uses it in the german and french variant.
> Also RAM doesn't change when going from Intel/DDR4 to AMD/DDR3. I'd probably just remove the really low-end AMD setups anyway.
Thanks for catching that. Hmpf, I did just fix that yesterday already. But the US version seems to know of no offer for ddr3 ram anymore. I'll have to work on that API integration, and prevent this from happening.
> But really my biggest question is why should I use this over PCPartPicker? They show a lot more specs than just normalized performance, and being able to sort by total reviews from many sites is really great.
Let me preface that: I like pcpartpicker. They build what I set out to build many years ago (I don't think they existed back then?), only that I pivoted very soon to the performance comparison approach and then did not take the project seriously for a while, during which they pulled through, built a community and a business. I do respect that.
But honestly, that pivot and its workflow is why: Just entering a price and getting a working PC is so much faster than what I understand as being the pcpartpicker-workflow. For me, the recommendations most of the time work quite well, and if not are easy adaptable with the arrows, and now maybe with the custom selection.
- PascLeRasc 10y agoOk, I can see the value added as entering the page to a fully-built PC without necessarily needing to know all the components needed for a PC. I guess it's just API integrations for US sellers that caused most of my problems. Looking forward to seeing this page do well. And G4560s are hard to keep in stock anyway so that's fair on your part. They are really surprisingly good.
