About Build My PC
Build My PC is a PC parts price comparison and affiliate website for UK users.
We do not sell products directly and we are not a retailer, marketplace, payment processor, manufacturer or repair service. Any purchase you make is made directly with the third-party retailer or marketplace you choose.
We may earn commission from certain links on the website through affiliate arrangements.

Price Comparison and Product Information
We aim to provide useful, accurate and up-to-date information about PC components, pricing, retailers, specifications and compatibility.
However:
- prices, stock status, delivery costs, offers and availability can change at any time;
- retailer listings may be updated, removed or replaced without notice;
- product descriptions, specifications and compatibility information may contain errors, omissions or delays;
- compatibility guidance is provided for general informational purposes and should not be treated as a guarantee that components will work together in every scenario; and
- you are responsible for checking final product details, compatibility, pricing, shipping costs, warranty terms and retailer policies before making a purchase.
Build My PC does not guarantee that any price shown is the lowest available price, that any product will remain available, or that any compatibility result is complete or error-free.
No Sales Contract With Us
Any contract for the purchase of goods or services is between you and the relevant third-party retailer or marketplace.
We are not a party to that contract and are not responsible for:
- order acceptance or rejection;
- payment processing;
- shipping, delivery or collection;
- returns, refunds or exchanges;
- warranties or product guarantees;
- after-sales support; or
- disputes between you and a retailer, marketplace or manufacturer.
If you have a question or dispute about a purchase, you should contact the relevant retailer or marketplace directly.
