Customer and timing
Make follow-up straightforward.
Record who needs the quote, how to reach them, and when the system is needed.
- Contact details and preferred channel.
- Target completion date.
- Pickup, delivery, or shipping needs.
Describe your builds or repairs. Makeform creates a PC quote form for workload, budget, preferred parts, existing hardware, deadlines, and contact details before your team prepares an estimate.
Route quote requests to Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier.

Ask which software and games the customer uses. Named workloads are more useful than vague choices such as fast or powerful.
Step 1
Qualify
capture use case, current hardware, and budget
Step 2
Configure
match parts and services to the request
Step 3

Better quote intake
A vague gaming PC message starts a long exchange. Structured intake gives technicians the workload, constraints, and preferences needed for review.
Use an opening request-type question to show the relevant path. New-build customers see workload and parts; repair customers see symptom and device questions.
For upgrades, ask for motherboard, case, power supply, current parts, monitor, and photos so the team can flag obvious fit or power issues before scheduling.
Tag gaming builds, business systems, upgrades, and repairs, then notify the salesperson or technician responsible for that kind of request.
Built for real PC shops
Start with request type, then reveal only the details needed to scope that job.
Capture game titles, resolution, refresh rate, streaming plans, appearance, peripherals, and a realistic total budget.
Ask about applications, project sizes, displays, memory pressure, storage, ports, quiet operation, and expansion plans.
Record the current specification, desired improvement, reusable parts, chassis space, power supply, and migration requirements.
Gather symptoms, error messages, recent changes, power state, backup status, urgency, and useful photos before check-in.
Build your workflow
Turn recurring technician questions into a consistent form tailored to your parts and services.
Tell the builder whether you handle new gaming PCs, workstations, upgrades, repair diagnostics, or all four, plus the regions and customer types you serve.
Show component and workload fields for custom builds, compatibility fields for upgrades, and symptom or backup questions for repairs.
Replace generic brand options with components you source, define useful budget ranges, add labor choices, and explain that final pricing follows review.
Share the form from your website or social profile, send new requests to the right inbox, and keep each customer's specification together for follow-up.
Intake options
PC pricing depends on workload, compatibility, parts, labor, and timing. Structured intake carries that context.
Field guide
Reduce ambiguity with plain choices, an unsure option, and space for technician review.
Customer and timing
Record who needs the quote, how to reach them, and when the system is needed.
Purpose and workload
Named games, applications, displays, and pain points anchor the recommendation in real work.
Budget and priorities
Define what the total budget covers and which goal matters most when preferences conflict.
Parts and preferences
Ask for preferred parts and whether equivalent substitutions are acceptable.
Existing system
Combine structured part fields with specifications and photos when customers lack model numbers.
Repair intake
Capture symptoms and changes while keeping diagnostic review separate from repair approval.

Answers for custom builders, computer stores, and repair technicians improving quote intake.
It is an intake form used before a custom build, upgrade, or repair estimate. It collects intended use, budget, preferred parts, existing hardware, timing, and contact details for technician review.
Ask about applications or games, displays, budget, deadline, parts, appearance, storage, networking, operating system, peripherals, and acceptable substitutions. For upgrades, request the current specification and photos.
Yes. Use a request-type choice and conditional sections. Show workload questions for builds, compatibility fields for upgrades, and symptom, error, and backup questions for repairs.
Offer relevant ranges, a custom amount, and an unsure choice. Explain whether parts, assembly, software, peripherals, delivery, or diagnostics belong in the amount, then ask which priorities matter most.
Yes. Add uploads for system reports, component photos, screenshots, or error messages. Request useful views such as the power supply label, motherboard, case interior, and rear ports.
Not necessarily. Your team can review availability, compatibility, labor, diagnostics, delivery, and timing before pricing. Explain that the submission is a quote request and final scope follows review.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect PC quote requests without an invented response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Route submissions to a shared inbox and tag each as a build, upgrade, or repair. Include the preferred contact method and deadline so an estimator can clarify specifications and prepare the quote.
Turn hardware wish lists into usable briefs.
