This first public issue connects three decisions that are easy to lose between browser tabs: a PC parts list, a NAS capacity plan, and a GPU shortlist. It is published on the site as part of the archive. It has not been sent as an email.

Save and resume a PC build

The PC Builder now keeps up to eight named builds on the device you are using. A saved build restores the exact CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, storage, power supply, and case selections. The share URL carries the same selections when you need the plan on another device or want to send it to someone else.

The saved list stays in browser storage. It is not an account. Save and restore action events omit the build name and parts list. Measurement of displayed retailer choices and clicks can identify selected products, as described in the privacy policy. The builder still shows compatibility warnings, its calculated power estimate, and separate Amazon and Newegg choices for selected parts.

Carry a NAS plan into its operating cost

Start with the NAS and RAID Capacity Calculator. After it produces a valid capacity result, Continue to power cost carries the drive count, drive capacity, unit, and RAID level into the Power Cost Calculator.

Capacity does not determine power draw, so the destination starts with a clearly labeled four-bay NAS estimate. Replace its idle watts, load watts, and load hours with measurements from your hardware. The power page keeps the NAS context in its share link and provides a return link to the exact capacity plan.

Cut the GPU list to the cards that fit

The 2026 GPU hierarchy ranks 43 desktop cards on its stated 1440p raster basis. Its model search, tier filter, and VRAM filter narrow the existing table without changing the benchmark rows or tier cutoffs.

Use the hierarchy to choose a performance band, then open the GPU comparison tool when you need a smaller side-by-side decision. The hierarchy keeps its source basis and dates beside the ranking, so the filters do not turn a dated benchmark set into a live price or availability claim.
