Comparing 8,100+ PC parts across 16 UK retailers, new prices read every day.New on the blog: Air cooler or AIO liquid cooler? How to choose a CPU cooler
Buying guides, hardware analysis, and the reasoning behind what we recommend. Written for people choosing parts with real money.
Tower coolers and all-in-one liquid coolers both cool well. What separates them is noise, fit, failure modes and price. How to pick, and the three measurements to check first.
Capacity, speed, timings and why two sticks beat four. What actually matters when you buy memory for a gaming PC, and the one BIOS setting most people never switch on.
Where our prices come from, what we verify before publishing one, and what we deliberately refuse to show. Including the checks that exist because we got it wrong.
Sequential read speed is the headline figure and the least relevant one for most people. Here is what actually determines how quick an SSD feels.

The socket is the first thing to check and the easiest to get wrong. Here is what AM5, LGA1851 and LGA1700 actually mean, and why a matching socket still is not the whole answer.
We're excited to launch VantaSpec, a UK-centric site for comparing PC component prices, specs, and benchmarks across retailers. We've just reached 50 live products with a strong focus on GPUs, and hundreds more are in the pipeline. Here's what's new and what to expect next.
