I suspect in that case the box should be okay. ish.

but remember if anything needs replacing (mobo, PSU etc) you'll often be stuck with dell items, rather than high quality parts. which is bad, like AIDS.

Asus P5N32-SLi SE Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (Socket 775) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-174-AS) (£140.99)Supports SLI for future upgrade

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-128-IN)(£229.11)No need for this, E6400 is fine

Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Black) (CA-049-AN) (£93.99)

amsung SH-S162L 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer LightScribe ReWriter (Black) (CD-079-SA) (£19.39)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-078-SE)(£73.97)Double the cache of the dell one (likely a low-end maxtor)

Gainward BLISS Geforce 7900 GTX 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-029-GW) (£305.49)Silly place to sink money, get a 7900GS then upgrade once the DX10 stuff appears

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - Retail (SC-034-CL) Creative (£78.67)

Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - Black UV (CA-005-HP) (£64.61)

Total(as specced):£1,457.28
Total(with my changes):£1,208.24
(prices from ocuk)

Personally *I* would go for the lower spec DIY job, (and lose the monitor, mouse and keyboard, because I have such things) Dells are all well and good until you want to upgrade the major parts (or when they die, after 367 days).

Also ocuk and scan do pre-made machines which will be a decent price and using standard hardware.

I would also go for the DIY job. The only company I would trust to build me a computer other than myself would be http://www.evesham.com, they're not as cheap as Dell, but the warranty and after purchase service is second to none.
