So my classmate came up to me the other day and told me that he had $1500 to spend on a new PC, and wanted to pay me to build it for him. After collecting my jaw from the floor, I hastily agreed and set to work. Then, I realized I've been out of the PC building scene for awhile, the last one I built used an AMD 955 and Radeon 5770. Not all THAT long ago, but still, your help would be appreciated.
Here's the drill:
Budget must include a decent monitor, Windows and a keyboard.
He likes the Antec 900 case, wants an SSD, needs to play BF3 spectacularly, as well as handle some video editing (Nothing super serious, he fancies himself a "youtube director")
Finally, he'd prefer to save some of the budget for games (Not to mention my fee!). Also, to any of you who have done this kind of work, how does it usually go down? Order the parts to your house and assemble them there, then take the completed thing to client's house? And what kind of commission is fair? Do you provide your own tech support?
Feel free to ask if I left something out.
Thanks!
