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 research a compatible current-parts build around those goals.

Temporary RAM market notice Memory prices are unusually high right now because AI/data-center demand and high-bandwidth memory production are consuming a larger share of global DRAM manufacturing capacity, leaving less supply for consumer DDR5. Industry forecasts expect DRAM supply to remain tight through 2027; new capacity begins ramping during 2027, but substantial output is not expected until 2028. Build estimates use current market pricing and may change as the memory market moves. Late-2027/2028 relief is an industry outlook, not a guarantee that retail RAM prices will fall on a specific date.

Reading your goals and budget…

We’re checking current component options, pricing, and compatibility. This can take a little longer than a normal form because it is researching the current parts market.

What happens next

One survey. One coherent build.

We translate your games, apps, resolution, performance goals, and aesthetics into hardware priorities.
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 a second manufacturer-specification cross-check for sockets, memory type, physical clearances, cooling, storage interfaces, BIOS support, PSU connectors, and power headroom.
If the Newegg PC Builder check or any manufacturer compatibility fact cannot be verified, the build is held for manual review and no automated estimate is released.
You 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.
