Terms of Use

These terms apply when you use PC Parts Reviews, including the builder, Socket and shared build links. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

Using the site

You can browse, compare, build and share without an account. The site is for your own research and buying decisions. Its text, scores, data and design belong to PC Parts Reviews or the people who licensed them to us, and product names and logos belong to their owners. You're welcome to quote a short passage with credit and a link. Please don't republish our catalog or articles wholesale.

Prices and availability

We don't guarantee any price, discount or stock level. Prices change quickly, and the ones on this site are snapshots from the date shown beside them. Where we have no current price, we may show the maker's list price, which can be lower than what stores charge. The retailer's price at checkout is the one that applies.

Compatibility checks are guidance

The builder and Socket check parts against the data we have on file. That data can be incomplete or wrong, and makers change products without notice.

A build that passes is not a guarantee that its parts will fit or work together. A result that needs verification means exactly that. Confirm fit, power, clearances, BIOS support and warranty terms with the maker or seller before you buy.

Scores, reviews and AI

Our scores are editorial opinions, and how we score explains how we reach them. We summarize and credit the findings of outside reviewers, so check the original if a detail matters to you.

Socket is an AI assistant and it can make mistakes. Check its answers before you act on them. Nothing on this site is professional, financial or safety advice.

Third-party links

We link to retailers, makers, reviewers and video platforms, and we don't control those sites. When you buy something, your contract is with the seller, and its terms, returns, warranties and privacy practices apply. Some links earn us a commission, as our affiliate disclosure explains.

Accounts

Accounts are optional. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for what happens under your account. You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

Builds you share

When you share a build, you keep whatever rights you have in what you wrote, and you give PC Parts Reviews permission to store it and show it to anyone with the link.

Shared links are not private. Don't include personal information, or anything you don't have the right to post, in a build's name or notes. We may remove a shared build that breaks these terms or that we need to remove for legal or operational reasons.

Acceptable use

Don't use the site to break the law, to harass anyone, or to post unlawful, infringing or harmful material. Don't try to get around rate limits or bot checks, reach areas you aren't authorized to use, or disrupt the service. Automated access must follow our robots.txt and must not overload the site. Please use Socket for what it is built for, which is choosing and checking PC hardware.

Limitation of liability

PC Parts Reviews is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for losses that come from a purchase, a part that doesn't fit, a price that changed or a decision you made using the site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the amount, if any, that you paid us to use it.

Some places don't allow these limits. Nothing here removes rights that you can't legally give up.

Changes

We may change the site and these terms. When the terms change, we will post the new version here and the updated date at the top of this page will change. If you keep using the site after that, the new terms apply.
