Great idea. Seems obvious in hindsight, but I can't recall ever seeing it before.
From a feature perspective I'd like to see more reviews on parts, price to performance indications, and part hierarchies.
For example, I know what an i7 is - but I don't know what the difference is between an i7 870 and an i7 875k. Once I select an i7 I'd like to see descriptions, a breakdown of reviews, and prices to benchmark performance.
From a business perspective you should start to come up with a business model. This is a really cool site but it's also a lot of work to do right. Do any of these sites have affiliates? If not, you may be able to get merchants or hardware manufacturers to pay for paid messages, but that seems doubtful. So failing that it's possible someone like newegg would want to buy this tool from you, but they'd probably just copy you instead.
Other ways to make money: Show people how much money you saved them via comparing merchants and ask for a donation. Sell premium features to people who buy in batches for companies or local shops. Offer to assemble PCs for people. Maybe you can make some money selling MS software licenses to people.
