Help with local Los Angeles build

[tbates757]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to build a new computer to save money and get better performance but have been out of the hardware scene for a while. I'd like to pay someone $100 to consult with ordering all the parts, and then you'd come over and assemble it once I have all the parts. I want to keep the build under $1,000, pref $800-$900, and I'd like to have a GTX 970 and 4690/4790 CPU. I have a monitor and SSD drive (that I don't think is formatted -- is that a problem?). I live in west Los Angeles. Anyone interested in helping?

one thing you should consider with who ever you get to build your unit..is the power supply think a little ahead in terms of this as a gold series or platinum is by far the best investment..the wattage is to be considered as well ..as time goes by you add devices to your machine...everything uses power and power is everything..some may say for example a 1000 watt power supply is just over kill..others will disagree..in the long term the quality of the more efficient supply ..gold series and alike you will reap the benifts long after you have replaced a hdd..for instance..the supply is the heart of the system...hope this info is of some enlightenment to you ..i cannot fly to states soz..would love to do it for you and also the mobo ..motherboard you get ..use x99 chipset .along those lines....with the intel..extreme 4 or later mobo and asrock are quite reliable..if you are a gamer..then use asus....r.o.g...republic of gamers....the operating system install will take care of your hard drive...

Hmmm... I guess that the thread of the top of this Forum means nothing to you.

There's a Micro Center in Tustin that will assemble your computer for $130. (In their store, not your home.) They also offer CPU and CPU/Mobo combo savings to offset that.
