Rig Bloom, the PC-building field guide

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive sandbox for assembling fictional PC parts, tracing compatibility constraints, estimating budgets, and exporting a build checklist.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The workbench models compatibility as a chain: a processor selects a socket, the socket narrows the board, and the board affects memory. Its catalog uses fictional names, dimensions, capacities, and prices, while the estimate adds 30 W for accessories and 25% PSU headroom. Builds remain on the device and can be exported as a checklist or JSON. The site explicitly separates these teaching examples from real product specifications and benchmark results.
