Does it matter what my budget is? I'm currently looking at spending 1400 
not including shipping.
Also, one question I forgot to ask - Should I expect the computer I 
build to be any more or less reliable than one manufactured by a well 
known company such as Dell, assuming I follow the instructions and 
online guides as best as possible? I've bought some great Dell PCs, but 
I've also bought some clunkers.

Thanks again,
Mike
