You can make a saving building your own machine, but if you've got to pay someone else to do it, it might not be worth it. You might be better off sticking with a name brand pre-built machine.

Note that USB3 can be finicky with some devices. However if this proves so, it's generally easy enough to get a powered USB 2.0 hub to plug between them and the laptop.

RAM - I would get as much as you can afford, mostly for the image processing side of things. Probably 8Gb minimum, try for 16G+ if you can.
