Build Your Dream PC

Building a PC in Tunisia works differently from building one in a market with continuous supply, and most advice written online quietly assumes the latter. Components here arrive in discrete import batches. Each batch is priced against the exchange rate on the day it was ordered, which means two retailers selling the identical part can have paid materially different amounts for it — and rarely adjust afterwards. A retailer holding stock from a favourable batch can undercut a competitor who restocked later by fifteen or twenty percent, on the same box, indefinitely.

That structural fact has three practical consequences. Comparing retailers is not an optimisation for the unusually diligent; it is the largest single saving available on a build, and it costs nothing but the time to look. Timing matters more here than elsewhere — a component listed by only one retailer will often be undercut within weeks as a second batch lands. And availability moves independently of price, so the cheapest listing and the one actually in stock are frequently not the same listing.

VarCraft exists to have that comparison work already done. Component prices from Tunisian retailers are gathered and refreshed regularly, listings for the same physical part are grouped into a single entry, and every offer is shown side by side with its promotional price and stock status. Clicking an offer takes you to that retailer's own product page — VarCraft does not sell hardware and takes no part in the transaction.

Individual components are the focus, and the PC Builder is where they come together. Alongside them, the Systems section covers ready-made machines — laptops and prebuilt desktops from the same retailers — because not everyone wants to build, and a prebuilt is sometimes the better buy. The most useful way to settle that question is to price a build in the Builder and compare the total against the ready-made options.

Price is only half the problem. A parts list can be entirely reasonable component by component and still not assemble into a working computer, because compatibility is a property of combinations rather than of individual parts.

The PC Builder validates ten hardware rules against your list every time you add something. Some are logical: the processor's socket must match the motherboard's, and a matching socket is not always sufficient because the chipset also has to support that processor generation. The memory type is dictated by the board rather than the processor, and DDR4 and DDR5 modules are physically keyed so neither will seat in the other's slot.

Others are physical, and they cause more returned parts than the logical ones because they are invisible in every product photograph. A graphics card has a length; a case publishes a maximum clearance, and the first must comfortably exceed the second. A cooler has a height, subject to the same arithmetic against a different case measurement. A motherboard has a form factor, and a case accepts its own size and anything smaller, never larger.

The remaining rule is electrical. The builder totals the power draw of your components, applies a margin, and reports the minimum power supply wattage the build needs. The margin is not caution for its own sake: modern graphics cards produce current spikes lasting around a millisecond that can reach well above their rated draw. These never appear in an average-consumption figure, and they are entirely capable of tripping the protection circuitry on a supply sized exactly to the calculated load — which presents to the user as an abrupt reboot during a game, with nothing actually faulty.

Alongside the checks, the builder estimates gaming frame rates at 1080p, 1440p and 4K once a processor and graphics card are both selected. These are planning figures derived from published benchmark data, most useful for comparing two candidate builds against each other rather than as an absolute prediction of what your specific machine will produce.
