PC Replacment

[TygerBS]

Hi Guys

I need help with a quote for my insurance replacement PC.

These are my pc specs.


Intel Core i5 CPU
Asus P55 Motherboard
AMD 5870 Graphics Card.
Corsair 120GB SSD
Samsung 1TB Hard drive
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz Ram
Corsair 650 watt Power Supply
Gigabyte ATX Chassis.

See the attached quote i got from insurance.
Lol what a joke an Intel CPU with an AMD motherboard.
DDR2 ram and so on.

Quote need to come in at about R12000 to R13000

Dont worry about adsl router i have that already.

I would pay to see them fit that Intel Ivy on an AMD board like they quoted there. Bahaha!

[TygerBS]

Ok, herewith the breakdown. There are three quotes attached, the first one starts at R14,200 and include an updated i5 CPU, a reasonable motherboard, not quite such an overkill on the PSU, but overall a very nicely balanced machine non the less.

The second quote reduces the motherboard somewhat and exchange it for a much cheaper version.

The last quote removes the outdated GPU and replace it with a newer version at a reduced price.

I have included a markup of 10% on these prices after VAT, obviously said markup does not count (unless we want to make it count) to GRRR members.

Shout if you require the originals, and or if if you require any amendments to said quotes. I can also provide you a letter confirming that the hardware in question is fubar if you need that.

I should add that I did this quote extremely quickly, so shout if there may be something missing. (such as labour charges etc.)

That third option is a pretty good option. One thing I would question is the chassis. Nice ans Lian-Li cases are, you could save some cash there to get the price down a little?

[TygerBS]

Its all good. Its was just to get a value.

Insurance paying out 13k, now i can select what i really want.

No ways, did you notice who we are building this for? The guy is all about bling and how the freaken stuff looks like rather than what sits underneath. If we want to save more money, I can give him a celeron instead, but saving cost on bling is an absolute no-go!

Ps, one day I will understand people's fascination with having bling and kak for their computer cases while having the crappiest components inside them, right now, I just don't.

On a slightly more serious note, Jarrod you are absolutely correct, if we can / want to save a bit of money we can reduce the case. (I actually have 3 cases at home which I want to get rid off as well). Also, I would imagine Tiger, that your current case is still fine, so again, I would much rather suggest an upgrade on the components (read: CPU) than spending any money whatsoever on a new case.

The reason for going with my quote and the way in which I did it Jarrod, I would love an insurance idiot come and tell me I have over priced on any single component (including the case) as there are 3 times more expensive stuff available. At the end of the day, the only objective of said quote was to get the money paid into Tyger's bank account so that we can sell him a GTX780ti together with a bottom of the range Celeron CPU.
