Website suggestion-More detail about the product

[J_T_]

Hey,
First of all I want to say it's a great service you're providing and everyone on the forums is doing a great job helping but I do have a suggestion for the main website.

First suggestion is that all items should have a price stated next to the name (if that isn't possible it should say how much our price will differ if we select that item). I know I can find out how much the price changes by selecting the item but when there's a long list of different options I can select, it would be convenient if we are able to see how each items effects the price.

The second suggestion is not a very large one but it's just helpful. For the GPU selection the only detail given is the type of GPU Eg: Radeon HD 7950. But as you know there's a lot of brands of the 7950 done by MSI, Sapphite etc and all these cards are different. We don't need to be informed about every single specification of the card but if the exact card's name/brand was given it would be easier for us to get a new tab open and find out about the specific card.

I think the reason exact prices aren't showing is prices can fluctuate day to day and it would be a full time job for somebody to keep this up to date on the configurator.
The exact brand of graphics card depends on what they have in stock and what they can get hold of at the time,I suppose this could also change day to day.

There was a thread about this a while back, I think it came down to the fact the prices aren't written down because they tend to change daily dependent on the suppliers price and mostly importantly the dollar-pound exchange price.

Generally it will be Palit for NVidia and PowerColor for AMD, but if supplies are limited or delayed they may have to get different brands, but until your PC is built, the exact make will not be known.
