About BlueprintPC

Why we built this

Every general-purpose PC part picker treats compatibility as an afterthought and performance as a guess. We wanted the opposite: a builder where every rule check runs against real specs the moment you add a part, and every score is explicit about whether it's backed by a curated benchmark or estimated from published specs. No black boxes, no vague “this should work” — a clear verdict with a reason, every time.

Who runs BlueprintPC

BlueprintPC is built and maintained by the BlueprintPC team — lifelong PC builders who got tired of spec-sheet roulette and built the compatibility engine we wished existed. It's an incorporated, independent business: no manufacturer owns a stake, no brand pays for placement, and every recommendation on the site comes out of the same scoring rules regardless of whose logo is on the box. The catalog data, performance scores, and benchmark pipeline described below are maintained hands-on, not licensed from a third party.

How we work

The compatibility engine, scoring model, and benchmark leaderboard are documented in plain language on the FAQ & Methodology page — we'd rather show our work than ask you to trust a score. The Bench leaderboard is built entirely from real hardware runs shared anonymously by people using BlueprintPC Bench, not synthetic estimates.

BlueprintPC earns commissions through affiliate links to retailers, disclosed on every link and detailed on the Affiliate Disclosure page. That relationship never influences a compatibility verdict, a performance score, or which part gets recommended — the rules run the same regardless of what's being compared.
