I was hoping to see the type of use for this computer you want to build. Gaming vs. reliability; home vs. office. Speed, reliability, expense are all factors.
Building a computer is really very easy the SECOND time. the first time its scary, but in the end very rewarding. You can customize everything very easily and not pay for rediculous upgrade costs if you use Dell or another major comp. maker. thats were they make their money, the starter system has a small drive, little RAM, slow processor, and a cheap video card. If you upgrade anything they charge you 200-300% more than what the item actually costs. But the big thing is as someone already mentioned, when, not if you want to upgrade one of these Dell, IBM, Gateway systems you yourself can't or you pay huge prices for their special parts. Not to mention you also can't flash their boards with a new BIOS.
Please let us know what you plan to use you system for and I'll bet you will get some very specific suggestions.
