Looking for product configurator plugin

I'm looking for a plugin that basically creates bundles by including other products depending on availability in the store that can be grouped into streams. For example for the base product named "Computer", where a customer can add streams called "SSDs", "RAM" and so forth where each stream contains a configurable set of other products.
Something similar to the following Shopware plugin would the the job nicely:

Have you searched the OpenCart marketplace for a suitable extension? As far as I remember, there are extension which allow for product options to be associated with other products.

If you can't find an extension, you could pay a developer such as
ourselves or post a job in the
Commercial Support Forum.

I have. Unfortunately I haven't found any so far, I found a product
customizer (which is not what I'm looking for) and a
plugin that hasn't been updated for a long time. Any useful tip would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the tip, I will consider this option.

I was thinking about a module which allows you to add product as option, such as this one:

Thanks for the tip!
This touches on what I'm looking for indeed.
It's possible to categorize products into sections and it shows price reductions. So at least
some thought went into this.
However,
- "sub products"/options aren't listed as such at checkout and in the backend. This means that if a customer order multiple items it's impossible to know which "sub product" belongs to which main product, rendering it unusable.
- It's not possible to limit quantities of "sub products" or have a more detailed level of options regarding quantities.
- Listing "sub products" that are otherwise invisible would ideally also be be required for my use-case.
- unclear whether it supports dual prices (excl./incl. VAT), though that should be easy to fix.
Unfortunately the developer is unresponsive.
