Origin PC is good and Ironside computers

What about the new alienware area 51? Heard some good things about it.

Pick one.

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Tie him up, and force him to buy a custom, he can get a much better pc if it's custom. WTF is that he doesn't trust custom built pcs? LOL

NCIX has some deal where you order all the parts and if you pay an extra 50 bucks they assemble everything for you. imo that's the best way of going about a pre-built. that is, if ncix still provide this service.

Just because someone doesn't want a custom doesn't mean you should force them to get one.

He doesn't "trust" custom build pcs because he's very new to this, OP's cousin is just ignorant on this topic, OP should consider teaching him about this and telling him a custom buil pc will save him money.

Some people don't want to mess with it.  There is nothing wrong with that at all

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

He doesn't trust his own ability to maintain his custom and wants to be able to call someone if he screws something up lol

I have a custom that i built myself and I absolutely LOVE it (see my sig). However my cousin just doesn't want to deal with the process and the hassle, you know?
