I would recommend that he go with a system from Memory Express with every component price checked on shopbot.ca and then price matched at Memory Express.

A new system I was pricing out would have cost me about $1000 at Memex but ended up around $750 because of price match savings.

How much does memory express charge for building and setting up a computer? I always do my own.
It was $50 I think? for them to load the OS, install the latest drivers and assemble everything. Not a bad premium to pay on a $2,500 rig.
