I'd rather let Dell do all that for me and simply deliver something that is stable out of the box.

From now on, every PC I buy will be a Dell.
I've built every PC that I have owned and never had any problems.. You don't need a huge amount of time to research things. Unless you're very computer illiterate then buying a prebuilt system is the better option. To top it of I don't get stuck with ONBOARD junk (which is why most Dell's and others cost less)

onboard stuff was made to be used JUST IN CASE. Not as a permanent sollution but with the prebuilt shit these days, unless you specify and pay a little more, you'll get stuck with either onboard video or sound or ethernet... In many case, all 3 at once. Personally, I prefer to build my own.
