Any custom-builder suggestions?

[mrbananagiver]

So I'm planning on getting a new high-end computer to replace my current main PC, an old server from a Pizza Hut (I'm serious), but I will probably mess a lot of things up while building my own, so I want to see if there are any trustable PC builders in the US. Any suggestions?

I don't see how anyone could possibly mess up building pc its a 5 piece puzzle

 

just take it to any local computer shop sending an entire computer can be pricey

As vern said any local computer shop should do it for a decent fee. Or you could go with a prebuilt, like NZXT's BLD service. Although i would just recommend building it yourself building a PC is like adult leggo, the more you do it the better you get at it. Plus being able to choose everything to match a certain style or aesthetic is very pleasing.... (to my OCD anyways)

Cyberpower and Digital storm are good boutiques.

PC components aren't exactly robust, nor do they always fit well.

I wouldn't call PC building equivalent to adult lego's. Some parts are fairly easy to fuck up if not put in right, with little to no positive feedback to verify correct insertion.

PC components are fairly robust the only part that would require some delicacy is ensuring the CPU is aligned correctly. Other wise following your MOBO manual for best ram config ETC, and looking up basic building guides are more then enough to get through the building process. My 77 year old grandfather built his first PC a little bit ago and he's not all that technically oriented. By himself mind you.

PC components are about as robust as an iPhone 4.

RAM and GFX cards are easy to fuck up as well. Some mainboards are also pretty damn flimsy, and I'm frankly surprised they function after seeing the amount of flex given when installing RAM.

And?

 

Dozens of people completely fuck up a build for every success story like yours.

its extremely easy. first pc i built was with knowledge from a video i watched 2 years prior and no other build guides inbetween

@Drak3 I've seen PC's catch on fire or get doused in water and people throw tech across the room and it still works. Tech is built with handling and accidents in mind, you should be careful, but being overly cautious/anxious can cause more mistakes then just going for it, and being cynical about PC building doesn't help either. Plus learning how to build a PC can better help you understand how to fix and maintain a PC.

 

In the end its up to the OP to decide. If he REALLY doesn't like the idea of building it himself then there are plenty of System Integrator's out there with varying builds and price points. Go in with a price point in mind and do some research on the SI till your comfortable with them and the product. And from there have fun! As that is what truly matters!
