About VarCraft

VarCraft is an independent project, built and maintained by a single developer in Tunisia.

I created it because comparing PC components across local retailers was frustrating and slow. It meant juggling countless browser tabs, and not one of them could tell me whether the parts I had selected were actually compatible. As a software engineer who also builds PCs, I had the means to fix that for myself — so rather than keep working around scattered information, I built the tool I wanted to exist.

Today, VarCraft brings those retailers' prices together in one place and adds what the browser tabs never could: a compatibility engine that validates a parts list as it is assembled, a calculator that sizes the power supply a build actually needs, a performance estimator for 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and a library of guides covering the reasoning behind each decision.

Product information and pricing are aggregated from Tunisian retailers to make comparison easier. VarCraft does not sell products and is not a retailer — every offer links out to the shop it belongs to, and the purchase happens there under that shop's terms.

I use VarCraft myself whenever I plan a build or advise someone on theirs, which is why the tools are shaped around the decisions people actually make rather than around displaying technical specifications.

Because VarCraft is maintained by one person, some limits are worth stating plainly. I work to keep product information accurate and current, but pricing, availability and specifications may occasionally differ from a retailer's listing or contain errors. If you notice something that looks incorrect, please let me know — I will investigate and correct it as quickly as I can.

The heart of VarCraft is the component catalogue and the PC Builder. That is what the site is for: individual parts from Tunisian retailers shown side by side, with compatibility, power and performance checked as you assemble a list. Everything else is built around that, and it is where the effort goes.

Alongside it there is a Systems section covering ready-made machines — laptops and prebuilt desktop PCs from the same retailers, with their specifications broken out so you can compare them the way you would compare components. It exists because not everyone wants to build, and because a prebuilt is sometimes genuinely the better buy: at the budget end, and whenever a machine is needed quickly or with a single warranty covering the whole thing.

The two are meant to be used together. If you are weighing a prebuilt against a self-assembled machine, price the parts in the Builder, then compare that total against the ready-made options — the gap between them is usually the clearest answer to the question of whether building is worth it for you.

Prices, promotional prices and stock status come from the retailers' own published listings and are refreshed on a regular schedule. Every offer on VarCraft links directly back to the retailer page it corresponds to, so you can always check the source yourself in one click.

The specifications shown on a part page — socket, memory type, TDP, dimensions, clearances — come from a component catalogue I maintain separately, so that a given part reads the same way no matter which shop is selling it. That catalogue is what the compatibility engine reasons over, which is why a compatibility result stays consistent across every offer attached to a part.

None of this is infallible. An offer can end up attached to the wrong component, a promotional price can be recorded as a regular one, and an update can lag behind a change made on the retailer's side. I check for these, but reader reports are consistently the fastest way I find out — see the corrections note below.

Prices reflect the last successful update, not a live feed. In between, a flash sale can start and end, stock can sell out, and a retailer can reprice. Treat every figure on VarCraft as a strong indication of where to look rather than a guarantee of what you will pay, and confirm the final price on the retailer's own page before buying. Every offer links straight there.

VarCraft does not sell, stock, ship or warranty hardware, and takes no part in the transaction. Your purchase is entirely between you and the retailer, under their terms, their pricing and their after-sales policy.

The FPS estimates and power recommendations are calculated planning tools, not measurements of your specific machine. They are most reliable as a way of comparing two candidate builds against each other.

If you find an incorrect price, a specification that does not match the manufacturer's, an offer attached to the wrong component, or a compatibility check that reaches the wrong conclusion, please tell me. I correct errors as I confirm them, and reports from readers routinely surface problems my own checks miss. There is no form to fill in beyond the contact page. If you are a retailer and something about your listings looks wrong here, that goes double — get in touch and I will fix it.

I read every message. Use the contact page for corrections, retailer suggestions, partnership enquiries, feature requests, or anything else. I am based in Tunisia and reply in English, French or Arabic.
