If you do not have the knowledge or time to buy individual parts to build your own custom computer, do NOT turn to Dell to have them build yours. First off, Dell uses cheap (as in not good) computer parts and thats why their prices are lower than most of their competitors. In order to get a nice computer that will last as long as a, say HP or Compaq, you will need to spend a whole lot more money on it. In the long run, two computers, one bought from Dell and one from HP, the Dell will die much, much faster than the HP would.
