The short version
This is a personal gaming site. Everything on it — the guides, the tools, the PC builder, the prices — is general information offered in good faith, not professional advice, and not a guarantee of any outcome.
Prices go stale. Benchmark numbers are estimates. Compatibility checks cover the common failure cases, not every case. Verify anything you are about to spend money on.
Use of the site is at your own risk, and nothing here creates a contract between us beyond these terms.
Prices and product information
All prices are shown in Indian rupees (₹) and reflect indicative retail pricing at the time the data was last reviewed. They are estimates for planning purposes only. They are not quotations, not offers to sell, and not a promise that any part is available at that price or available at all.
Component pricing in 2026 is unusually volatile. A global DRAM shortage has roughly doubled DDR5 and tripled DDR4 pricing against 2024 levels, and NAND supply cuts have pushed SSDs up 30–50% over the same period. Graphics cards carry an India import premium over international MSRP that moves with currency and duty. Figures on this site can therefore be wrong within weeks of being published, sometimes within days.
Prices also differ substantially between sellers for an identical part. Always confirm the current price, the seller, the warranty terms and whether the warranty is valid in India before you buy.
Where a product name links out, that link may be an affiliate link. Buying through it may earn this site a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never determine which parts are recommended or how they are ranked.
Performance estimates and benchmark scores
The frame rates shown in the PC builder are modelled, not measured. Each figure blends a processor performance index and a graphics performance index, weighted according to how the specific game behaves, then applies resolution scaling and a video-memory penalty. No physical machine was assembled and tested for each combination — there are hundreds of thousands of possible combinations.
Treat these numbers as a way to compare tiers and locate a bottleneck, not as review data. Realistic variance against measured benchmarks is around ±15%, and can be considerably wider in specific titles, on specific maps, after a driver update, or with a game patch that changes engine behaviour.
Synthetic scores (Geekbench 6, Cinebench 2024, 3DMark Time Spy and Steel Nomad) are typical published reference values for each component, not results produced by your hardware. Your own runs will differ with cooling, power limits, memory configuration, BIOS version, operating system, background load and the benchmark version used. Integrated-graphics figures are scaled estimates rather than per-chip measurements.
Geekbench is a trademark of Primate Labs. Cinebench is a trademark of Maxon. 3DMark is a trademark of UL Solutions. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or verified by any of them, and reproduces reference scores for comparison purposes only.
Compatibility checking
The builder checks processor socket against motherboard socket, memory generation against both the board and the processor memory controller, module count against available DIMM slots, cooler socket support and thermal rating, cooler height and graphics card length against case clearances, motherboard form factor against case support, and estimated power draw against power supply capacity.
It cannot check everything that can go wrong. It does not know about BIOS revisions required for a specific processor on an older board, memory QVL support for a specific kit, physical interference between a tall memory heatspreader and a wide air cooler, radiator and fan thickness in a specific case, cable length on a specific power supply, or a retailer shipping a different board revision than the one listed.
A build that passes the checker is a build with no obvious problems. It is not a guarantee that the parts will work together. Confirm against manufacturer specification sheets and the retailer listing before ordering.
Guides, opinions and third-party content
Articles reflect personal opinion and experience at the time of writing. Games are patched, hardware is superseded, and payouts, meta and settings advice all age. A post is a snapshot of its publication date, which is shown on every article.
Where an article cites an external source, that source is linked. This site does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of any external site.
Following any advice on this site is your decision. No result — rank, frame rate, in-game earnings, or hardware outcome — is promised or implied.

Limitation of liability
The site and everything on it is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlackPitGamer accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content. That expressly includes purchasing decisions made on the basis of a price, a compatibility result or a performance estimate shown here, and any damage to hardware arising from a build assembled following this information.
If you are about to spend a significant amount of money, verify independently. That is the entire point of this section.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated at any time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised version.
