Upgrading computer

Hi there,

My daughter (18) is looking at getting her gaming computer upgraded. It's around 4 years old. I went back to the company that built it who quoted £750 to upgrade the current one with the following spec. Just wondering if this seems reasonable for the price. It's a lot more than I expected but don't know much about computers:

New Items:
Ryzen 7 5800X
RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
650W Power Supply
Upgraded Air Cooler

Sounds reasonable to me, that graphics card has a retail price of about £400 on its own.

Thanks for responding. They thought buying a similar spec new would cost around £300 more. Crikey £400 for the graphics card alone, I had no clue it could be that much but reassuring in terms of it being a reasonable quote

Just got my gamer son to price up and he reckons this is a fair price.
