History
[edit | edit source]PCPartPicker was created by Philip Carmichael in 2011. The website was substantially redesigned in February 2015.[2][3] As of 2023 the site provides localized currencies and links to physical stores in 38 countries. The website is funded through affiliate linking to sites such as Amazon.com.[4] Additional functionality is available, such as providing building guides, sharing build lists, photos, and instruction, alerts for price drops, forums, and filters for automatically adjusting pre-made lists of components.[5] They also make PC hardware reviews and custom build tutorials on their YouTube channel. They are currently located in Austin, Texas.[6]
