Paste a US retailer link and get a letter grade with dated per-part estimates, which is quicker than pricing a GPU, CPU and RAM by hand before a sale ends.
PC Deal Check reads a retailer link, a photo of the price and specs, or pasted text, picks out the main parts and compares the asking price with a market estimate for each one. The result is a letter grade and a report you can share, email or print. The sample grades a $1,399.99 Micro Center desktop an A against roughly $1,569 in parts, with each estimate dated and linked to a price check. It is a public beta with US prices only and no account. Photos and pasted text need a US connection, and it judges price, not performance.
