Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic compatibility rule logic are easy to vibe-code, but maintaining a real-time, comprehensive database of hardware specs, physical clearances, and live merchant prices requires persistent scraping infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a scheduled crawling and scraping pipeline across multiple e-commerce APIs (Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy) and manufacturer specification sheets. The hard part is building and continuously updating a highly accurate, structured hardware ontology (socket types, RAM heights vs. cooler clearances, GPU dimensions vs. case mounts) without automated data degradation.
