Dell is alright but I wouldn't call them "awesome" and if you don't want to build it yourself... Find a local computer store, tell them the parts you want inside it. Head over to any tech forum and they will probably help you with what would work best for you. I would take their advice over any local computer store if I didn't know what I was buying. Take the list to the local store and there ya go. I'd also ask them to put in a retail boxed HDD not OEM.
You may find a place that will let you pick all the parts so you can just order it. Problem is though HDD are fragile and should only be shipped in the retail box, I would never ship one already inside a PC.
And newegg sucks for hard drives, they only have OEM I believe. That means it's not packaged correctly and there's a good chance it will have bad sectors or just not work. It's strange manufacturers keep selling to sites like newegg when they are reshipping them wrong.
