Im having my own PC built come January since its when my jobs (as a 16 year old), will allow me to do so.

The PC will be around $4300 I believe, a $500 case, a custom loop, dual GPUs, all that stuff.

I've been contacting a potential custom builder who I've asked to build it for me. He informed me that he charges $60 an hour for builds, and this is a 10-12 hour build at least so you do the math. Is this a fair price? That seems crazy to me, but I don't know because there's no "industry standard" when it comes to private builders. Thank you.

To me its like engine builders, the guys that are known to be great command more $.
is $60/hr a fair price? it is to me. I charge 100
is 10-12hrs to build that right? Seems way off too me but then I don't let them pick the exact parts either so I dont get stuck troubleshooting for days either. They can pick the case and after that its just the general stuff like gtx 1080 and then I decide which one.
