Snake:
Doing a bit of upgrading to a PC is not hard at all, and the cost savings are considerable. I would seriously check out anandtech or Tom's Hardware for guides on how to proceed and go for it. I haven't bought a pre-built Computer in almost 10 years and my success to failure ratio is VERY good. Just make sure you buy good quality parts from a reputable dealer that has a good return policy and you should be set. And as far as Power supplies go if you go with a good brand of PS it will actually help to reduce thermal problems due to the increased efficiency and better cooling.
