I built my own PC almost 3 years ago from a Memory Express type of place. Spent about $2000 on the PC itself. The only thing I have upgraded, apart from storage, is the RAM. Went from 2GB to 4GB. Otherwise it has held up extremely well as a gaming PC. I am still well ahead of most recommended requirements for games. I am sure I can get a couple more years of high end gaming in on it.

It's usually cheaper to build you own and you get better components. But if you want less to worry about, I would get a PC from Dell. Dell will give you better support for your hardware and software than a place like Memory Express would. But if you are going to design and/or build your own PC, I would go with Memory Express. Much better to have the place local. It's way better to drive over there and get it fixed than ship something and wait a week.
