Doesn't seem to be working 100%, but it's a neat idea :)

I put I wanted the computer to cost $8000, and it generated components that cost $5340 together (1000 + 500 + 2100 + 700 + 90 + 250 + 500 + 200) but still the UI showed the correct prices for the individual items, but the total still showed as "$8000" although adding them together is nowhere near that.



Yeah... I randomly punched in $40,000 for Gaming and got

(1) Parts that total $9,980, but claims it totals $33,950 (2) Recommendations for parts that are both years out of date, and vastly inferior to other options (CPU = AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, GPU = RTX3090)

So I'm guessing the AI data isn't trained enough and is going off some poor metrics like sorting by price, perhaps recommending multiples without indicating (was it asking me to double up on RAM or Stroage?)


interesting... thanks for the feedback, I'll see what happened
