I take it you don't often build PCs for people. It IS the customer's money, and if they are initially resistant there is little point in pushing them towards something that you consider better. Besides, if their choice goes bad, they're not going to blame you. This is what "the customer is always right" means-- even if the customer is misguided, they're not going to yell at you when
their decision goes bad, but they're less likely to be satisfied if a decision YOU make works out well enough. It's kind of covering your own ass over making sure that everyone gets the best build, but hey, if they're happy...
