So my brother has asked me to help him out with a build for a new computer. He doesn't feel comfortable assembling a rig on his own and while I'd love to help him he lives thousands of miles away and I've yet to ever try and build a new system from scratch (I have however swapped out practically every component in my build except for the motherboard). That being said, I am considering referring him to a site like ibuypower.com however I've read some pretty scrary review posted by other users here on TH. Basically, I've narrowed down the specs of what he wants to:
GTX770
I7-4770k
Extreme 6 Mobo
600w Power Supply
2TB HDD
IBP has a rig similar to this, with corsair cpu liquid cooling around $1200. While I understand that contracting one of these sites constitutes paying a premium, there appears to be no way around it as he does not feel comfortable taking on the task himself. So, thoughts? Thanks ahead of time.
