    Awesome stuff. I just want to suggest that the year be dropped from the names. It's confusing. It's 2014 now. Whatever benchmark you get can surely just be added to your DB and be shown when queried. Just a single 'Gaming Graphics Card' chart. And a single 'Workstation graphics card' chart and a single 'Gaming CPU' chart. Etc.

    I'm new to this, but is the GTX 660 considered better than 750 ti, any reason its not on the list, or is it going to be part of the update later?

    PC speaker charts are a terrible idea

    I wish there was a way to combine those. For example: performance:temperature ratio. Or performance:noise ratio. Maybe the ability to enter local price and then chart a performance:price graph.
