Please dont order a Dell (big case nothing in there)
build your own
ive built 100"s maybe over a 1000, get a proper pc
quality motherboard upwards, means no blockages etc etc
its so easy, the build takes only hours, the research longer
but ill help you with that, ive done it for years

you get what you you pay for, but build your own, its not cheaper
but what you get is what you want, no dell can match it

Ps I buy Dell servers all the time for clients ( need the onsite warranty etc) but wouldnt dream of it in a nightmare for my pc

That's going to take longer

I almost decided to build my own before I bought this PC.

I think if you've got the time to research, you could build a killer PC for a few hundred bucks

Having the same Rig as you Neal, I'm just considering slapping another MB in here with a new CPU. The rest of the components are other brands including the Nvidia G force 9800 GT. And this case and PSU are rock solid.

I was hoping to just up the CPU to quad core down the road but Dell dropped the ball.

Oh well, back to building my own...lol

How's that about dropping the ball? MB won't allow it?

I have not had any trouble running any games or programs with my current PC.
