My first thought is to be an affiliate.
Let people "build" a PC on your website by adding all the parts that are necessary for it to work. After they've "built" it (added all the parts) they click the "find lowest price"-button and they get a list of all the parts lowest prices. For every part you could link to 3 different sites that sell the part.
Of course, your link would be an affiliate link, so that when they click the link you get a percentage of the sale of the part.
Other ways to monetise this free service could be
Off-topic feature idea:
You should let people that don't have technical skills to be able to select what they want the PC to do instead of selecting all the parts.
For example: let them type in a couple of games they want the PC to be able to play on high graphics with a good frame rate, and then based on that selection you recommend a complete set of computer parts for them.

- Ads on your site (limited income, lack of control, ugly)
- Sponsorship (hard to get without a nice traffic flow)
- Buy old parts of peoples PC and resell them
- Set up marketplace on your site where you compare the parts and give recommendations but also let your visitors buy and sell parts on your site for a fee
