i would go with the build
it isnt necessarily a better computer but it should be easier to upgrade if you want also you will need a copy of windows for it |

if youre encoding/decoding video just go with intel but the second setup looks good for me and it will also perform better than the first setup so if u are not doing any heavy ideo editing go with the second setup.

I'd choose the Dell. If you want to go with the build at least get a true PCI-E board (Like the ASUS A8N-E) and a PCI-E video card, like the X300.

Go with a build. Dell's are OK but the build will always be upgradeable.
