About Us

We're not just another calculator. We're your trusted guide to building a balanced PC.

The Problem with "Good Enough"

There are many bottleneck calculators out there. Many give a simple percentage that does not include important details. We created our tool, isitBOTTLENECKED, to give a clearer, more useful analysis, which helps users make well-informed decisions.

The Big "Why?" Behind Our Mission

You might wonder why we'd build another calculator if dozens already exist. The answer came from a deep dive into the PC building community.

When I started research on bottleneck calculators, one theme appeared again and again on forums, Facebook, and Reddit: users openly say that existing bottleneck calculators are GARBAGE.

If the problem is real and people are searching for a solution, why are the current tools failing so badly? After three months of using every calculator I could find and analyzing user discussions, I identified five core failures:

  1. They make the bottleneck a big problem.
  2. They just give a percentage, not a deep analysis.
  3. They force users to buy components for better performance.
  4. They don’t give the point solution if the user's PC has a bottleneck.
  5. They don't give honest recommendations to users if they want to build a pc for gaming, editing, etc.

It became clear why people were so frustrated. As an entrepreneur, I saw an opportunity to solve the *entire* problem—from initial confusion to final build—all on one simple, honest page.

Our Solution: A Bottleneck Solver

isitBOTTLENECKED is the only trusted bottleneck solver, not just a calculator. We're committed to serving our users with clarity and integrity. Here’s how we’re different:

  1. We debunk myths. This debunks the myth that a computer bottleneck is a major issue. In reality, having a bottleneck doesn't mean your PC is incapable of performing well or accomplishing great tasks.
  2. We focus on education. Instead of just giving you a number, we explain what that number means for you. We provide clear explanations of whether you're facing a CPU bottleneck or a GPU bottleneck and what the practical implications are for your gaming or productivity workloads.
  3. We consider the whole picture. We know PC performance depends on many factors working together. While competitors only look at CPU vs. GPU scores, we include screen resolution, storage, and RAM in our main calculation. This gives results that match your real experience.
  4. We offer honest recommendations. We don't push you to buy through our affiliate links just to make money. Instead, we offer honest recommendations backed by detailed analysis. If our tool detects a bottleneck, we've got you covered with 12 free methods and 7 premium options to minimize or eliminate it.
  5. We guide you from start to finish. Frustrated by "experts" pushing their own products? That's why we created a personalized, complete e-book/PDF guide—tailored just for you, whether you're a gamer, editor, developer, or professional, to help you build your dream PC system within your budget.

Advanced, Personalized Analysis

Our tool goes deeper. You can personalize results by choosing a purpose, like 4k gaming, coding/development, or video editing. When you choose parts (DDR4 RAM, DDR5-6000 RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3080, etc.), our tools use advanced logic to check if your hardware matches well, providing scores that show if the GPU or CPU slows down performance and ensuring you're getting the most out of your investment.
