that actually isnt too bad. however, building one will get you better performance/price. Plus, i think dells are bad at ocing, and i would try and find a 45nm core 2 duo.

Ok, lets see here.

That actually is not too bad. As mak said you can do better building it, but lets see what a good shop offers for you.

Look at Maingear. They have an AMD system for around $1100, brand new and they are one of the best system builders, period. For Intel, you are looking around 1350. Give them a look.
