Custom PC Build Planner

Tell us what you want it to do.

You do not need to know CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, or power supplies. Tell us how you plan to use the computer, what matters to you, and what you want to spend. GotCracked will save the request for staff review and research a compatible current-parts build when verified research is available.

Step 1 of 4

What is this computer for?

Start with the real workload. That tells us where your budget should go.

Primary Use Anything Else It Needs To Handle?

Will Gaming Be Part Of This Build?

Yes No

Specific Creative Or Professional Apps

Step 2 of 4

Budget and performance priorities

Give us the ceiling you are comfortable with. Any verified estimate will include the researched parts and GotCracked’s build service as one total.

Maximum Total Budget Enter your total build budget in dollars. What Should That Budget Include? Storage Target How Long Should It Feel Current? Upgrade Priority Windows License Needed?

Step 3 of 4

How should it look and feel?

A good build should fit the room and the person using it—not just a benchmark chart.

We’re checking whether verified automated research is available. If it is not, your request will stay in the GotCracked queue for staff review and follow-up.

What happens next

One survey. One coherent build.

We translate your games, apps, resolution, performance goals, and aesthetics into hardware priorities.
When verified automated research is available, current parts are researched from reputable US retailers, with Amazon and Newegg prioritized where practical.
Before an automated price is shown, the exact core configuration must pass Newegg PC Builder compatibility verification and manufacturer-specification checks for sockets, memory type, physical clearances, cooling, storage interfaces, BIOS support, PSU connectors, and power headroom.
PCPartPicker is used as an additional compatibility and parts-list cross-check when it is available. Newegg PC Builder and manufacturer specifications remain the required authoritative checks, so a temporary PCPartPicker outage does not create a fake incompatibility result.
If automated research is unavailable, or if the Newegg PC Builder check or any required manufacturer compatibility fact cannot be verified, the saved request is held for staff review and no automated estimate is released.
If compatibility is verified, you may see the recommended components and one estimated total—not GotCracked’s internal part-cost breakdown.
The sourcing trail and internal pricing remain with your GotCracked build request for staff review and purchasing.

Temporary RAM market notice.
Memory pricing and availability remain unusually constrained through 2027. The current industry outlook expects additional manufacturing capacity to improve conditions during 2028, but forecasts can change. GotCracked verifies live memory pricing and availability before a final build is approved.
