About Sponsored Content on BuildCores
Some placements on BuildCores are sponsored. We label them because we want it to be clear when a brand has paid for a placement, recommendation spot, banner, or promoted build or product surface. Sponsored content helps keep BuildCores available while we continue investing in the product data and 3D systems behind the experience.
BuildCores is expensive to run and improve. We spend a lot of money updating our 3D database of products, keeping compatibility and pricing data useful, and serving those interactive experiences to millions of users.
Sponsored placements help fund the website, mobile app, part database, compatibility work, price tools, performance data, and 3D PC building experience. That support lets us keep investing in product coverage and reliability without putting the core tools behind a paywall.
Sponsored placements are typically from PC hardware manufacturers, prebuilt PC companies, retailers, and other brands that are relevant to people building, upgrading, or shopping for PCs.
We do not want scammy, misleading, or unrelated promotions on BuildCores. Sponsored content should be relevant to PC consumers, clearly labeled, and separate from organic product data when a brand has paid for placement.
Clicking a sponsored label brings you here. Clicking the main ad, product, retailer, or build content may open the sponsor's page, clone a promoted build, or perform the action shown in the UI.
