Built because people kept getting fooled.

The problem I keep watching happen

A college student wants to build their first gaming PC. They walk into a shop or scroll through a marketplace. Someone tells them an i3 with a GTX 1650 is “great for gaming.” They pay ₹45,000. Six months later they realise it can't run anything modern, the PSU was the cheapest possible junk, and the case has zero airflow. By then the warranty is useless because the bill is from a vendor who doesn't answer the phone.

I have watched this exact story play out hundreds of times. Sometimes the buyer asks me, after the fact, “did I get a good deal?” And I have to tell them the truth, which is worse than the bad PC: the shop knew. The shop has known for years. The shop sold them what was sitting in stock, not what would actually work.

International tools - PCPartPicker, Reddit threads, YouTube tier lists - don't help. They're written for the US market. US prices, US warranty laws, US vendor recommendations. A 4060 Ti is “good value” in dollars and “outright bad” in rupees. A “reliable” PSU brand abroad is sold as a parallel-import counterfeit here. None of the existing advice translates.

What I'm trying to build

GetPC is a compatibility checker and build planner that knows India. You pick parts; it tells you whether they'll actually work - socket matches, PSU headroom, GPU length, cooler clearance, BIOS update chains, parallel-import warranty risks. Then it points you to Indian vendors who actually have the parts in stock, with the warranty story they'll actually honour.

No login. No signup. No paywall. Free, forever, because charging for it would defeat the point.

What makes it “India-first”

Most tools assume you can RMA anything in two days, pay in dollars, and that every PSU on the market is safe. None of that is true here. GetPC checks for things American tools don't:

• Warranty status by SKU - official Indian distributor stock vs parallel imports, with the actual cost difference visible. When a GPU is ₹8,000 cheaper, the tool tells you why.
• BIOS update chains - flagging when a board needs a BIOS update before your new CPU will POST, and which Indian vendors will pre-flash it for free.
• PSU quality bias - toward 80+ Gold and 5+ year warranties because Indian power isn't friendly to budget supplies. Voltage sags during summer brownouts kill cheap PSUs, which then kill GPUs.
• Indian vendor links - MDComputers, PrimeABGB, Amazon India, Flipkart. The vendors who actually pick up the phone.
• Honest pricing in ₹ - GST included, last-verified date stamped on every page. No stale numbers pretending to be live.

Who I am

I'm Ash. I'm based in Nainital, Uttarakhand. For the last decade I've worked across the Indian PC industry - direct partnerships with MSI, Deepcool, Corsair, Cooler Master, ASUS, and most of the major AIB partners. I've spec'd hundreds of builds personally, debugged every kind of compatibility failure you can imagine, and dealt with the distributor network on both sides: as a customer and as a partner.

People who've worked with me know two things about me: I'm honest about parts even when it costs me a sale, and I actually know how PCs work at the level where it matters - the spec sheet, the firmware, the warranty paperwork, the import chain. That's the perspective this site tries to make available to people who don't have me on speed-dial.

I'm running this as a one-person operation. Everything you see is written, designed, and maintained by me. If you find an error, you can email me directly and I'll fix it personally.

How it makes money (and how it doesn't)

Affiliate links. When you click through to Amazon India, MDComputers, or other vendors and buy something, I earn a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went to the vendor directly. No part is recommended because it pays more - every recommendation is based on what actually works for the build you're planning.

What it's not. No paid placement. No sponsored “recommendations.” No money from manufacturers to favour their parts. I've been offered this before. The answer is always no. The whole point of this site is trust, and that's the only thing I can't buy back if I lose it.

Editorial standards

Every part fact is sourced from official manufacturer documentation. Every compatibility rule is testable and explained. Every recommendation has a reason you can challenge. Every price has a verification date stamped on the page it appears.

Read the full methodology for how parts are added, prices are sourced, compatibility rules work, and warranty information is verified.

What's here today, what's coming

Right now, the compatibility builder is live with 150 current-generation parts, 16 compatibility rules, and India-specific warranty + vendor data. Templates and guides are being written carefully - I'd rather ship ten genuinely useful articles than fifty SEO-padded ones. You can see the full roadmap on the guides and templates pages.
