Additional Comments: I would much rather spend my money building my own PC than buying from Dell but I haven't been able to get the price under $1000 with Windows included. I've also haven't been paying much attention to PC parts recently since I've been moving too much to use a home PC for anything other than internet. I know there are probably better options than this, but I was going from what I had seen and right now I'm at $1219.90, I'd like to be closer to $1k even if possible. Also, I've never built my own PC before so if I'm missing something else, please let me know.
