The lesson I would take from your last Shuttle experience would be to delegate this task to somebody else, like GamePC.com, who presumably can serve your friend reasonably well and save you from the pain-in-the-ass factor of going through all of this again.

Great advice, really. The problem is that he's already bought some components, and I've guided him through what else to buy. Not to mention that any other service is going to cost him a lot more money. If I had ordered this same system I just built through Shuttle, I would guess that it would have been about $400 more. At least.

One of the biggest problems is that I'd been out of the system building mode for a while. It had been a couple years since my last build, so I was pretty rusty and the tech had advanced on me. I now remember more of the pitfalls and problems that can come up. I mean, heck, I built my fiancee's computer in about three hours because it was a couple months after I'd built three other systems. That was 3.5 years ago...

So does anyone know if that video card will be okay?
