FAQ
How is this different from a bottleneck calculator?
A bottleneck calculator tells you there's a problem. This tells you what to actually buy to fix it — the specific CPU or GPU, within your budget, and how much it improves things. Diagnosis plus prescription.
Why does it sometimes recommend a GPU even if I'm not bottlenecked?
If your CPU already has headroom, a stronger GPU is the only thing that buys you more raw performance — there's nothing else to fix. We'll show you the best one your budget covers.
What if nothing in my budget helps?
We'll tell you honestly, and show you the cheapest part that WOULD actually make a difference — so you know what to save toward instead of buying something that won't move the needle.
Are the prices exact?
They're a directional UK-market guide, not a live price feed — hardware pricing drifts over months. Always check current listings before you buy.
