I like it. It could be more ajax-y and not have as many page refreshes.
It could also provide more info on individual parts. I do a LOT of spec-reading when I buy hardware. Customer reviews usually factor in as well.
I would like to be able to pick which retailers I want it to use prices from. I only shop a few places, so some of them wouldn't really be the best price for me.
I didn't have any confidence that it matches my CPU and RAM and Motherboard properly because of the warning on the page. I thought that was the main draw, but having to match those things manually defeats the purpose for me.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree - the individual parts do need more information, and that's something I plan on augmenting. Regarding compatibility - I'm slowly getting to the point where I can guarantee compatibility. There's a lot of combinations and data points to fill in. It gets a little complicated with things like CPU/Motherboard compatibility, which can vary depending on bios revision. I've been working on back-filling that data both with web scraping (have to be careful - even some manufacturer spec pages have errors) and by hand where necessary. In time though I intend on filling in the gaps there.
Error on the side of caution and require qualified editors to fill in cases like bios revisions. There are so many parts to pick from, it's okay if you error safe and exclude 10%.
