I doubt anyone here is really going to have a clue if dell is or isn't the best PC makers. But they really don't make computers. All they do is put them together and sell them. Although I know their motherboards are labeled dell and not another brand which might mean they actually make the motherboard. But I would bet they get another company to make the motherboard and just slap their name on it.

As for the parts inside most dell computers I would say they are usually not the best. Take the PSU for example, most of their PSUs are weak and not quality PSUs. They usually do enough to get by but good luck if you start putting more parts inside because the 12v rail(s) usually aren't that great.

I would suggest getting someone who really knows what they are doing to build one for you instead of buying a dell. You could always do it yourself but then that's a waste of time if you have plenty of cash to pay someone else to do it.

I know alienware use to tell you all the parts and brands which most of the time were at least decent quality parts. But I'm not sure if they still do that since dell bought them out.
