My current computer is a dell and have never really had any problems with it. Can I save some money by trying to build it myself. (no pro but understand the basics). The computer isn't used for any hard core gaming. Basically internet, movies, pictures, music etc. I'd like something that will last me 4-5 yrs.

Yes, that would be a great deal, but you would be able to save alot by building a computer yourself.

Except in this case.

This is a steal. I built the same configuration on Newegg, and it ended up being over $900, BEFORE shipping. (I even used "lowest price" wherever possible, and free shipping on a few parts)

Other than the crappy McAfee (Uninstall that crap!), the system is a bargain.
