SOURCES
Where the numbers come from
Every figure on this page is checkable. Here’s the source.
Your budget, actually spent
Builds aim for 95–101% of your budget — spent, not left over. Each one passes up to 8 compatibility checks, and you get a side-by-side performance chart to see what the difference buys.
Ranked on published benchmarks
Components are ranked on published benchmark results — Time Spy and Cinebench — not on spec-sheet figures. Where a score is an estimate rather than a measurement, our data says so.
Real parts, easy to compare
We don’t sell hardware. Every part links to store searches so you can compare current listings, stock, and checkout prices before you buy.
How Buildbeam is funded
Builds are free and need no account. Shopping links may earn a commission from retailers, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which parts we recommend.
