***UPDATE***
Just wanted to thank you guys for the advice on building a PC myself. I had a friend help me build it and its a shitton better than the DELL PC..and about $900 bucks cheaper!!
Heres the build I chose...
The monitor came from COMPUSA..19" widescreen LCD
The rest came straight from Microcenter. We compared the total build on newegg.com and the prices were pretty much the same. Anyways, heres what I got on.
