Its really up to you. It will be nicer parts that are less prone to failing if you build your own. You may have issues with the initial build although it is unlikely. Once its running any issues would likely be a quick fix.

Of course dells servicing would offer some piece of mind although any dell I have used needs to be replaced shortly after that 3 year mark.
 
I've just ordered :)

I went for 4 years next business day support so got plenty of coverage.
Now the only think I need is a dedicated sound card, what should I go for?
They said im allowed to fit it and it won’t invalid my warranty.

It's the actual speakers that determine the quality of sound not the actual sound card. I have great speakers with onboard sound and I couldn't ask for anything better.
 
I think i'll not bother ordering a sound card in that case. Hoping it will sound the same as my current pc.

thanks
