Edit: Issue is resolved. I am not debating on what a customer is asking of me. I just want the alienware so I can resell it and get my costs back + labor.
Things have changed due to lack of availability of parts from memoryexpress. Only place I can buy from cause its the only place in Calgary, Alberta - Canada for computer parts. The PSU suggest (RM650) is all sold out. He needs this PC by Friday. So I gotta choose some other PSU. No, no 10600 because he wants 8 cores and 16 threads. I dont care in the end if it matters or not for future games. It is what he wants and its his money. We can debate this till our faces turn blue. Wont change anything in the end. No AIO because I am not going to be held responsible if it fails and or there are leaks or whatever. I am simply going air cooling because low maintenance and lower chance he will call me continuously about issues. Plus its already out of his budget anyway.
This build is already giving me a headache and I havent even started yet. I know he will be whiny on Friday when I take him to memory express to pick up the parts.
So since the RM650 is sold out, gotta get this instead:
Hopefully that doesnt sell out in the next couple of days.
And it is the MSI motherboard since the z490 MSI boards got good recommendation and I trust hardware unboxed. + its cheaper.
It already comes out to about $1200 his build. $200 saved for upcoming GPU's. He has zero control over his spending it seems and he will end up blowing it anway.
