The last 3 comps I've had have been Dell's and I have never had anything on them break down! My sister is still running my first one [which is 7+ years old] and my wife is running my previous one without any breakdowns. I am also very pleased with Dell tech help. You are making wise choice going with Dell and wise choice getting the Turtle Beach soundcard instead of a SB live card. Only thing I would suggest [unless you are loaded with extra cash:] is to get the Ti 4200 instead of the 4600... the performance difference is negligeable unless running very high resolutions....check out some reviews. anyways, the Ti 4200 easily has the most bang for the buck!
