PC planning tools

Transparent calculations for memory and storage. Every tool explains its inputs and limits.

Calculate first-word CAS latency in nanoseconds from memory transfer rate and CL. Compare two kits with transparent formulas and clear limitations.

Plan SSD capacity for games, applications and files. Convert advertised decimal TB to binary GiB and set your own free-space allowance.

More practical calculations

Turn measured wall power, usage time and your electricity rate into a daily, 30-day and annual budget.

Compare two CPU-platform budgets, including the board, memory, cooler and other required spending.

Calculate pixels per inch and rectangular display dimensions from resolution and diagonal size.

Estimate storage from a combined video/audio bitrate, recording duration and a manual allowance.

Calculate approximate weight storage and add deliberate budgets for runtime allocations and the KV cache.

Translate FPS and display refresh rate into milliseconds per frame and refresh interval.

Check the documented M2_3/PCI_E2 rule and the Ryzen 8500/8300 restriction on M2_2.
