It is never worth buying a pre-built/OEM computer unless you are afraid to go underneath the hood of your PC or buying an E-machine for grandma.

Don't listen to haxxiy about the cooling, you always want your pc to be as cool as possible. Heat is the #1 cause of failure in PC's, whether it be due to dust build up, overclocking or just simply putting a hot PC in tiny enclosed space.

Build it yourself and make sure you have plenty of fans in the PC for good airflow. 120mm fans can be ultra quiet, you won't even notice them.


Thanks for the info.

 

Anyone have any feedback on the items I listed? Too old? Too expensive for my needs?  Any recommendations on what parts I should get?  As stated at most I'd be doing some Diablo 3, photoshop and bluray ripping (eventually).  I'm unsure if what I listed is sufficient for that or overkill.
