I've built a few computers in the past year. If you want to spend $400-600 on a computer and don't want superior performance out of it, then go for Dell. If you want to spend around $500 and up, then attempt to build your own PC, but only if you don't need a monitor/speakers and the other stuff that comes with a Dell. When it all boils down to it, Dell is a damn good deal, but if you want performance in games then you'll have to go custom-built. And when I say performance, I mean damn good performance, not just the ability to run Battlefield or UT2k3.
