Some feedback:

What I'm missing in PC builders at shops is the ability to filter say the motherboard by the features. How do I know if the H61 is better than the G41?

Once I selected an i3 why are you showing me AMD motherboards?

do I even need a graphics card for a motherboard? Would be nice to know that for the cheap computer I want to make for my mother I can use the onboard VGA.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm planning to add more details for processor, so the users can compare/analyze the graphic performance of onboard graphic engine. (and decide if a dedicated GPU is required or not)

On motherboard page, currently, it's highlighting the compatible motherboards, I guess it be more better if it shows only the compatible motherboards.

I liked the socket filtering for motherboards, but there was not anything similar for RAM. Once a user gets to step 3 how do they pick compatible memory?

Looks great. I've noticed that when you sort HDDs by size, 1 TB goes to the top even though there are 2 and 3 TB models. Small nitpick :)

Yeah, that HDD sorting by size is not working as expected. It's filtering based on the first number (or character, whatever comes first), so I think the "500 GB" HDDs are not ranked properly. Thanks :-) I'll fix it by next update!
