Use when someone shares a parts list, PCPartPicker build, screenshot or quote and asks how to make it cheaper, where to cut costs, or whether its parts are good value.\n---\n\n# PC build savings\n\nFind cheaper ways to get what matters in the user's build, using PGrid prices and specs. \"No cheaper option\" is a valid result for a part.\n\n## Facts about PGrid data\n\n- PGrid covers CPUs, graphics cards, RAM, SSDs and monitors for a desktop build, new only, in Australia (AUD) and the United States (USD). It has no motherboards, power supplies, cases, coolers or fans. Leave those unchanged and say they were not checked.\n- Prices are the lowest in-stock retailer price recorded in the last 24 hours, excluding separate shipping. `price_history` summarises the last 90 days' daily lows (30 and 90 day lows, 90-day high and usual price), without Amazon.\n- A graphics card product is the GPU (such as RTX 5070 Ti), priced from its cheapest card. Cards with the same GPU and VRAM differ mainly in size, cooling, noise and warranty, which the PGrid page shows by listing.\n- Tools never return per-retailer offers. Every product's `pgrid_url` lists its retailers.\n- Null specs are unknown. Do not fill them in.\n\n## Key rules\n\n- Resolve each part with the category's search tool or `lookup_listing`. If a part cannot be matched with confidence, say so and continue with the rest.\n- First check whether the same part is cheaper on PGrid than the price the user has. Then look for alternatives that keep what the build needs.\n- Keep the build compatible. CPU socket and DDR generation must still match the motherboard; a CPU on another socket means a new motherboard, which PGrid cannot price.\n- RAM: desktop modules only. Keep capacity and module count unless the user wants to change them.\n- SSD: compare NAND type, DRAM or HMB, endurance and warranty as well as capacity. Say so when a cheaper drive uses QLC or has no DRAM.\n- CPU and GPU: a cheaper model from a lower tier is a value tradeoff, not an equivalent. Label it that way. Do not give FPS or benchmark numbers.\n- The user's explicit instructions take priority over this skill.\n\n## Answer\n\nLead with a table: part, the user's price, the suggested product, its PGrid price, the saving, and the tradeoff or the reason to keep the original. Give the total saving for the parts PGrid covers. Each suggestion links to its PGrid page. End with the catalog date (`catalog_refreshed_at`) and the caveats that apply: shipping, coupons and stock.\n"
