PC upgrade budget, storage, memory, power and performance-scenario calculators
Plan a PC upgrade with numbers, not guesswork
Compare component budgets, storage growth, memory capacity and power scenarios using your own system assumptions.
Tools
Upgrade Budget Split
Allocate a total upgrade budget by a chosen component share.
Open →ToolsStorage Growth
Estimate future storage need from current use, monthly growth and months.
Open →ToolsMemory Headroom
Calculate unused memory capacity from installed and peak-used amounts.
Open →ToolsEstimated PSU Load Share
Compare estimated system draw with rated PSU capacity.
Open →ToolsUpgrade Cost per Year
Spread an upgrade cost over an expected usage period.

Start with the workload bottleneck
A useful upgrade begins with the task that is currently limiting your work or play.
GuidesUse memory headroom instead of capacity alone
Installed RAM is most useful when compared with real peak usage.
GuidesPlan storage from growth rate
Storage purchases last longer when future growth is visible.
GuidesModel power capacity carefully
A simple load ratio is a planning aid, not an electrical certification.
GuidesCompare upgrade cost over time
Annualized cost can make alternatives with different expected lifetimes easier to compare.
