i try execute typing tbl [filename] | troff , not getting table, i've tried using other options i'm not sure if understand how troff works.

with gnu troff, have processed file using following invocation:

groff -t -tascii tbl.tr > tbl.txt 

-t tells troff use run tbl preprocessor , -tascii set ascii output device, produces plain text output.

here first 3 lines of result:

                                    custome pc specs -----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+--------------    component     |                         selection                         |    price -----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------- cpu              | intel core i5-4690k 3.5ghz quad-core processor            |   $219.99 -----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------- motherboard      | msi z97-gaming 5 atx lga1150                              |   $129.88 -----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------- 

your error came ignorance of troff options. please, peruse corresponding section of manual either gnu troff or whatever other flavour may using.
