Hey guys,
So I have recently decided to build a new gaming PC. I haven't build a system ever before but I have been pc gaming for quite a while now. I have mostly been using PCPartpicker.com to pick out the best parts for my system as well as save money, but I do have certain requirements. I am asking if there is some online or downloadable program that will analyze my build, and then run some benchmarks and present the information after. If this is confusing, I will use an example. Say I was to build a pc with X CPU, but wasn't sure if the performance would be too different than Y CPU, which is cheaper. I could use this virtual benchmark to determine how much of a difference it would make.

Thanks guys, I do hope something like this exists so that I can feel secure in my decisions as I am on a budget of around 7 to 8 hundred dollars.

not a virual benchmark but you can compare CPU and GPU reviews to see the difference

CPU is a bit more difficult to find but here is a comparison of most GPUs right now in a large set of games

'Performance' depends on what exactly you are doing as well as what parts.

A quad core Intel CPU might be better than an AMD CPU for some things, but not others. And paired with GPU X vs GPU Y might change the equation in various ways.

It's not just the parts, but what you are doing.
