I also would improve your site, first, before expanding.

Also, if I search for a PC at 460 € ... I get a CPU recommendation for 120,90 € But when I inrease the limit to 660, I get a worse CPU for EUR 58,32 ... but with a much better GPU. But I think the great GPU won't be of much use with that slow CPU ..

Thanks. Working further on the core of the site is a valid option.

To balance those properly, that's the hard problem. The first was a FX-8320E with a R7 370, the second a Pentium G4400 with a GTX 970. The first is okay in my eyes. The second would be better with an i3-6100 instead of the Pentium.

Just as a suggestions for the balance there, why not set a price ratio between the two? It would be a little odd to have a CPU that's 20% the cost of the GPU, so why not target something above that point?

I just implemented that, as an additional small factor to find the recommendation. It seems to work very well. Thanks!

It currently has a benchmark ratio. That works well in many cases, but to add a price ratio could really help. I'll play with that and look whether it works. Thanks!
