Would be cool mod with that calculator in game. Something in the style of the application on our computer.

how did it not work ? what did you try with

It has some layout problems in Firefox, the "Build Maker" clips into the "Score Calculator" (up to the result of CPU score) and the pulldown menus are too short (you see only a part of the names).

fixed the overlapping (hopefully since i dont have firefox. But tested on chrome when shrinking it)

About the dropdown menu for autofill, theres nothing i can really do since <datalist> is non styleable (for now). Was using <select> last time and figured itll be faster to search then scrolling to find the model u want. The searches are pretty simple btw, it goes by the brand-model-memory or for some cases brand-sub_brand-model-edition-memory

theres a button u need to press. Then the builds will be generated. If that still doesnt do it, check if u have javascript enabled! Its needed to do math

Get rid of the setTimeout and use an event to fire
showAvailableRamSpeed()
instead, like onchange. It also generates an error in the same function. It's because the for loop
for(listOfObjects in selectionOfSpeed)
is consuming the length property in the object, and yea.. setting a style property on a number (length) doesn't really work.

Thanks for highlighting haha, ive noticed the showAvailableRamSpeed() a long time ago, but too lazy to find ways to overcome it. Thanks for the tip !

And the loop is fixed its should not be trying to change the length's display properties

Please do not take any of my comments as agressive or against your work, that's not my intention, keep doing it.

Seems like a fine job here, so take all what follow as suggestions, and implement if you feel useful (and find a way to do it), And I tried it on Firfox, because that's also what I use, so maybe if what I experience is already there in Chrome, there's a thing with Firefox.

To me, I still use an older .xml sheet I have, because it has more the infos I look for.

Now for instance, I have a budget to build a full PC BUT the guy want an AIO.

Now in your tool, when I enter the budget and the score, fine I get a nice list with a great choice... and still I have no idea of the price of the main components.

So maybe I would love to know for each of the result on the list the minimium price of the components used to get that score to decide in a glance if I accept a job, and to know roughly if I can use a M.2 or if I need to get a "cheapo" Mortoni, or a fancy case or a 40$ case

Finally, I need to resort to type all again in first part of your calculator to know what is the estimated wattage to decide of my PSU.

Uniformisation of your labels :
When I try to do that, and not wanting to leave the sheet to get the correct name in game, if I start to type r51600, I don't get a result. While in your proposal from bottom, it's the exact label on your CPU column.

So either use full name on the bottom (AMD....) or use the short one on trhe top. Having both is confusing.

EDIT :
Also your droplist completely cut the name, so if I want to use an MSI 1070, all I see is [MSI GeForce GTX 1070...] and that's it... how am I suppose to know what version it is ?

Thanks for reading and for your work

Thanks for the suggestion buddy!
Ive been thinking if i should just use the long names instead of a made up model. Thats gonna take quite some effort to replace the names.

Will add the wattage in build maker. And for the budget u had 500$ (if the parts are pricey) left at lease to buy the psu,storage, ram and cases. Will make it more detailed next time. Since I already imported all the motherboards to the data. Rams will takes sometime since there are like 113 different rams.

These are the things ill be adding into the result soon:
-ram
-motherboard
-wattage
-price of the parts chosen alongside the balance left


By also replacing the made up models, the parts names will hopefully no longer by cut off. Even if it does theres nothing much i can do since <datalist> no styleable and i cant change its length or so

-now using real names from the game
