ChatGPT is a good start for various comparisons. For example - find my computer similar to ASUS X300 PC ... or show me FPS in table form of (X, Y, Z, ...) GPUs in 1080p resolution in popular games ... or list me all AMD CPUs that have TDP 35W or lower for AM4 socket ... and that gives you some glimpse for a start.

Then happens the important part - you verify.

... and from that all possible known 'hacks' for LLMs I like this one the most: 'try harder'

For every response you get that feels not enough - just write 'try harder' - it often does the needed job :)
