Build around what you found

I found these parts — what can I build?

You spotted cheap parts (second-hand, discounts, inherited hardware). Give them to the engine: each find gets an EXCELLENT / FAIR / QUESTIONABLE / BAD DEAL verdict, then it plans the smartest system around them — what gets reused, what you still buy, and what you save.

About this tool

How it works, what you get, questions

How it works

  1. 01List the parts you found cheap — CPU, board, RAM, GPU, drives.
  2. 02The engine derives what those parts can run.
  3. 03It plans the smartest complete system around them.

What you get

  • EXCELLENT / FAIR / QUESTIONABLE / BAD DEAL verdict on every find
  • The most sensible system buildable around your finds
  • What to reuse, what to buy, and the savings vs all-new

Example check

Ryzen 7 5700X — €72 · B550 board — €55

EXCELLENT DEAL on the CPU (60% below new), FAIR on the board — the smartest build reuses both, €120 still to buy, €310 saved vs all-new.

Second-hand questions, answered

Is one single part enough?
Yes. Every find gets its own EXCELLENT / FAIR / QUESTIONABLE / BAD DEAL verdict — even a single part. The full build-around plan is a bonus when you list more.
How is the verdict calculated?
Deterministically, with no AI involved: age, capability, idle consumption and 3-year energy cost, relevance, price versus new, longevity and total cost of ownership. Same engine for every part, every time.
Found parts vs. my own hardware?
Found-parts is the anonymous price check for deals you spotted. Hardware you already own belongs in My Hardware — plans there reuse it persistently, with KEEP / UPGRADE / SELL analysis.
