'Corsair,' the gaming-focused hardware, software, and accessory brand, has launched the 'Corsair PC Builder' for gaming enthusiasts. This builder lets users choose every part of the computer, provided that Corsair has its own branded version of the desired part. On top of this, if a user gets stuck when deciding between parts, the tool can automatically recommend items that are compatible with ones that have already been selected.
Once the custom build is complete, the PC can be conveniently ordered directly from the tool. Currently, customers can only start from scratch, meaning they have to select each and every part for the computer. However, Corsair will soon launch a "template" feature and a "load configuration" feature. The template feature will let enthusiasts choose from a list of popular builds to then alter, and the load configuration feature will allow the community to share builds online with one another.
