Pricing Accuracy
I was seeing parts selected which were out of stock at the selected prices, and some where the price was more than $30 below the lowest pcpartpicker price. The generator should be able to keep up with current availability and prices better.
3 votesHi again Greg,
Took me a while, but I located the issue causing this.
It should now be all fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Thanks,

Fix the ASRock H81M-DGS Micro ATX LGA1150 Price
The price for the ASRock H81M-DGS Micro ATX LGA1150 motherboard says £0.00

You can actually already do this by clicking the edit icon (the small pencil) next to the ssd which is selected.
Thanks!

Include a change log
I think it'd be useful to view a change log for the website.
3 votesYou can see a quick preliminary Twitter account here:

Now I just have to remember to update it every time I make a tweak to the site!

typo
Hey man, i think it's a cool site. If i'm not mistaken in your build guide area where you are writing about what parts are chosen for what reasons, in the 4670k paragraph, in the last sentence you wrote 3570k by accident I believe.
1 voteHaha, this is now fixed. Thanks :)

Pentium's + low end graphics cards
So, the cheapest build I could get from this site was a $460 A8 APU build. Instead of an APU at a low budget, try to use an Intel Pentium + something like a HD 6670. It will perform a lot better than an APU build. I managed to get a $415 pentium + HD 6670 build while ChooseMyPC went with an A8 apu with 8GB of RAM. However, you can go a lot lower with an A8 APU with 4GB RAM and a low end motherboard, but it doesn't seem like this site supports low end motherboards and prefers…

Your tooltip box goes outside my browser.

Offer other suggestions for parts.
I've done a few mock builds using this and it only seems to offer Gigabyte products for motherboard and GPU selections, NZXT for cases and PSU, and Crucial 8GB DIMMS for RAM.
1 voteThis is because of a mixture of things
a) Gigabyte make some very good motherboards at different price points. There are some other manufacturers thrown in at the low end but if Gigabyte have the best options for the money those are what will be recommended
b) The NZXT case is the cheapest and cases only get upgraded if nothing else can be. This means that you will see the source 210 a lot at the different price ranges
c) RAM is RAM. There is little to no difference to performance no matter which you pick so I choose the cheapest and recommend that.

Intel/AMD slider
Some of us have an irrational preference. Thanks a lot for this tool !
1 voteSorry, but I would really rather not feed irrational preferences with my builds! Id rather be challenging them instead ;)

allow options for other operating systems.
I was wondering why the only Windows operating system available was Windows 8. It seems like a large number of people wish to stay with Windows 7, myself included.
1 voteThat would be because despite the anti-windows 8 circlejerking which often goes on on reddit, it is the superior OS in almost every way.
The only downside is that metro can be annoying. However there are third party applications to disable it if you want to install those!
No sense in paying the same amount for Windows 7 if you can get 8.
Please keep in mind that this shouldn’t be the extent of your research. Feel free to customise parts further based on your specific needs.

Add the option to remove case/psu and refactor remaining parts
Many of us will be replacing old parts with a new part group but can often reuse the case/psu in the new build freeing up money for other part upgrades.
13 votesHey guys,
You can now remove the case and PSU on US builds and the rest of the parts will adjust for it.
Check it out and see what you think! Thanks for the support.

Work watts/amps into your formula
Just did a quick build for $1100 and it suggests a video card with more power requirements than the PSU can provide. The direct link for the video card shows a minimum of 600 W with 42 Amps on a single +12 Volt rail. At 80+ Certified, the 620 W PSU would not have nearly enough power.
LOVE this site though, this is really awesome.
1 voteActually if you are reading the manufacturers specifications, they massively overrate the requirements to make sure that you don’t put a ton of peripherals on and complain at them.
Also, efficiency doesn’t take away from the rated wattage as the rating is DC power, not AC. The 620W PSU will draw more than 620W from the wall.
620W will be plenty!

Create an option to disregard rebates
I'd like to know what I'm going to pay up front. Rebates aren't always reliable, and sometimes I just don't want to bother with them.
1 voteMIRs are excluded now by default. Option possibly coming to re-enable them.

They’re already there! Don’t forget CPU coolers are only useful for overclocking, and overclocking isn’t worth it at the lower budgets.

Bug: Fix Slider Threshold
When adjusting the slider, the recommended builds don't always make sense. Case in point, if I set it at $1500, it builds a setup totaling $1456. However, bumping the slider down to $1490 does a complete rebuild, which totals $1399. I would expect the build shouldn't change until the slider is adjusted below $1456. When I continue to lower the slider, the build doesn't change all the way down to $1400.
1 voteThis should now be fixed, I’ve fiddled with some pricing borders/parts and cleared the cache. Due to the nature of the site, there will always be rather large jumps in builds being the sake of $10, but the behavior you described shouldn’t be occurring.

You site doesn't work for me at all
I try to use your site, but I can't modify many of the options because a message appears over everything:
