I'm fine with that, because my Dad said once he is financially stable, he will get me one during the summer.
If I think about it, I will have basically everything ready for my clan by means of blueprints, sketches, etc. All I would have to do is just get it made and look more into getting currency on here. |

@Vero
We are not really financially stable now, so a laptop would be not very well. He told me he feels bad he can't do much for Christmas. I told him being here with him is a present. Also, I told him I would like to get a few shirts from Hot Topic. |

pcpartpicker finds all the big retailers where the part is available and checks the price on all of them to get you the lowest
it also adds tax and shipping where applicable
say i'm looking for an i7-4770k cpu
it tells me the lowest price where the cpu is available
it tells me the lowest price is 249.99, but that's instore pickup only at microcenter. the website knows you want it delivered, so it doesn't display that as the lowest
the next lowest is outletpc, which sells it for 329.98, but there's a 10 dollar mail in rebate, so it displays at 319.98
see what i'm talking about? |

they don't build the computer though
they just tell you the total price of your rig and where to get the parts for cheapest
it also tells you if any parts are incompatible |

Yes, there's a customized URL for your specific list.
It takes a ton of retail websites including newegg and Amazon and gives the least expensive model
Say you wanted a Intel i5 Processor, it'd give you the one for the lowest price from different providers |

I don't think you understand. We have like only 100 dollars for my Christmas. That's enough for me to get like 4 shirts from Hot Topic. |

It really all depends on your budget.
100$ isn't nearly enough - some CPUs or really good graphics cards cost more than 100$ |
