Rebuild or Not

I'm wandering if i replace everything and rebuild it from the ground up or just go buy a new one will be the best idea. I have no problem loading drivers, software and hardware to a computer. I do it from time to time at work so none of that scares me just coming off that hip and spending all that money scares me.

I tend to agree.  You might as well build something new, but get a case that's better.

I personnaly don't like Dell.  I'm an ASUS and Intel type of guy.   If you can find a good tech shop, ask then to load Win 7.  Any good tech have both license in stock. 

8 GB of memory is good,  16 Gb is better
CPU @ 3.xx Ghz

If you are not doing heavy 3D gaming,   You can find awesome inboard MB with video card.
