Checking Out Newegg’s AI-based PC Building Plugin

·

·

Tom’s Hardware tested the new ChatGPT plugin released by Newegg, which is designed to help users plan a PC build. The plugin provides a conversational AI that can recommend a list of parts for a gaming build based on the user’s budget.

However, the author found that while the plugin is a technical achievement, it doesn’t always provide the best advice or value for money. The author tested the plugin by asking for the best gaming PC build under $1000, and found that the suggested build was slightly over budget and included some overpriced components.

Tom’s Hardware also questioned the objectivity of the plugin’s advice, given that it is provided by a retailer with its own sales agenda. Despite these issues, the author acknowledges that the plugin could be useful for newcomers to the PC hardware world, but advises users to do their own research and fact-check the suggested builds.
