While I love Newegg and buy most of my stuff there, if I am putting a computer together, I prefer to do some research on what I want as far as components go. The tool is a good idea, but make sure it’s not the only tool you use – research…

As Austin pointed out there's a button in the upper-right corner that will switch the configuration options over to Intel. Sorry I forgot to mention that in the article, but you can see it in the first screenshot.

It looks like you can switch to Intel parts at the top right corner of the page. Might not be very obvious at first glance.

Yea it’s pretty lame only 3 options for each grouping.

This does look like a real cool concept. One thing that I do not like that I saw was it only listed AMD processors and motherboards. They should have an options page where you set what brand processor you want, then it would pull boards and processors from that company only. They should also add the option to specify how many top items to pull. I saw a lot of items that were popular, but were real budget items.

I just went through the process over the last two days to get a CPU, Motherboard and memory to upgrade my main system. I went with Intel. it took about 5 hours of going through motherboards alone.

I really hope they update this tool with some configurable options.
