What The Site Tracks
PC Part Value tracks desktop graphics cards and CPUs from roughly 2010 onward. GPU entries can include launch pricing, new retail pricing, used eBay pricing, relative performance, 3DMark results, teraflops, release year, memory capacity, power draw, and other core specs. CPU entries can include new retail pricing, used pricing, MSRP, relative gaming performance, Cinebench R23 and Cinebench 2024 scores, core counts, clocks, socket, cache, power draw, and platform details.
The price controls let you compare both sides of the market. New pricing reflects current listings from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg, while used pricing reflects what parts actually sold for on eBay.
How Pricing Data Is Collected
New retail pricing is updated daily from current listings on eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. Each retailer is tracked separately, so the CPU and GPU tables can show the lowest price across the retailers you choose and link directly to the listing that produced that price.
Used pricing is also updated daily from real, verified eBay sold listings, with the site qualifying sellers at 50+ positive reviews before those sales count toward the market snapshot. That keeps the numbers tied to actual completed sales rather than asking prices or outdated launch pricing, while also reducing obvious outlier distortion through listing qualification and percentile-based views. Used views include the minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, and maximum where enough qualifying sold listings are available.
How Performance Data Is Collected
GPU relative performance values are based on TechPowerUp data. Time Spy benchmark scores from 3DMark and FP32 teraflops are also used where available, so users can compare cards by more than one performance lens instead of relying on a single score.
CPU performance can be viewed through relative gaming performance, Cinebench R23, or Cinebench 2024. The CPU table can switch between R23 and R24 benchmark columns, and the value calculation can use multi-core, single-core, or gaming performance divided by the selected price source.
Who This Is For
The site is aimed at PC gamers, budget builders, used hardware buyers, workstation shoppers, and anyone trying to figure out whether a GPU or CPU is overpriced or a strong value. Comparing a used RTX 3060, RX 6800 XT, Ryzen 7, or Core i5 gets easier when price and performance are shown side by side instead of spread across different sources.
CPU Pages
The CPU section includes a live price-to-performance chart, searchable table, CPU filters, and individual pages for each imported processor. Those pages collect price history, current percentile snapshots, benchmark scores, core and clock data, socket information, and other specs in the same style as the GPU detail pages.
The CPU chart defaults to Cinebench R23 data, but users can switch the visible benchmark columns to Cinebench 2024. Value can be calculated from multi-core, single-core, or gaming performance depending on the type of workload being compared.
Future Additions
The long-term plan is to expand into RAM, motherboards, and other PC components. That includes more benchmark sources, broader retailer coverage, and deeper price-history tracking across the rest of the PC parts market.
The long-term direction is broader build-level value tracking, so full systems can be evaluated without jumping across multiple sites for every part.
Why It Exists
Most PC part comparison pages either focus on specs without pricing, benchmark charts without market context, or listings without a useful performance baseline. PC Part Value brings those pieces together in a more practical format for deciding whether a part is actually a deal.
