PCPartPicker is very useful, especially for browsing compatible parts and cost comparing.
A number of good build guides are also available. But as with everything, trust but verify.
My lateat PC was designed with everything except the GPU, which I awaited until I found a good cheap second-hand card. As soon as I got the card, I verified the design and ordered everything.
Can we just talk about how great PCPartPicker is? I built my first machine with their help almost ten years ago and my build plan is still there, which was incredibly useful when it came time to upgrade. I could copy the plan and swap out components and it all still just worked.
They don't charge for anything, they don't block adblockers, they don't constantly make changes trying to increase engagement, they're not trying to sell components. They just take some referral fees and keep a very useful site running.
I love PC part picker, I have my past builds all saved on there with photos.
It's a fantastic tool.
