Dell computers arent as expensive becuause they use cheap mobos and cases. They also have cheap alternative cooling solutions and cheap PSUs. You cant get an AMD processor in a dell. Dells also offer limited upgradibility in the future.

You will love it. Good choices no doubt.

Let us know when the build starts, and don't forget the pics from start to finish.
