One page per question. Figures for Germany.

How these numbers are made

  • Prices are the cheapest new in-stock offer at the shops Market Watch reads, updated nightly. Prices older than a week are dropped.
  • Builds and trends use the weekly low-end line from the price charts, so a single odd listing does not move them.
  • Benchmarks: PassMark. Launch prices: the manufacturers. Exchange rates: European Central Bank.
  • Case, motherboard, SSD and power supply are not tracked yet; the Gaming PC Index uses fixed estimates for them.

Our monthly write-ups of what moved are in Market & Pricing.

Every price links to its product page on Market Watch, with the full history and the shops.
