How a PC becomes a FirstPC Match recommendation

The recommendation engine is designed to fail closed. Resolution, FPS, game type, and budget define the target; compatibility checks then cover CPU and motherboard support, RAM, storage, PSU wattage and connectors, cooling, BIOS risk, GPU fit, and case constraints before a build can be released.

Published shopping builds require complete purchase coverage and verified product identities. The selected budget remains a maximum. Affiliate commission is not an input to ranking, and missing or stale compatibility or offer data should reduce eligibility rather than be silently guessed.
