    Pre fab or buy a custom built

    I'm looking to upgrade my current PC. It will be primaily used for gaming and music. I am trying to decide a pre fab gaming PC (Predator,, Ebay) or a Dell XPS 9000 with a i7 chip.

    The ebay one has:

    CPU Intel Core i7 920 Quad-Core Socket LGA1366, 2.66Ghz, 4.8GT/s FSB, 8MB L3 Cache
    Overclocked
    i7 920 overclocked to 3.8 GHz*
    Memory PQI 6GB (3X2G) DDR3-1333
    Motherboard MSI X58 Pro Motherboard
    Hard Drive 1 500GB 7200RPM 32MB Cache Serial ATA II
    Optical Drive 22X DVD RW + Dual Layer SATA w/ Lightscribe Technology
    Video ATI Radeon 4670 PCI Express, 1GB, DVI, VGA & HDTV Out
    Audio 8 Channel High Definition Audio
    Network Card Gigabit LAN controller
    Ports 6 USB 2.0 Ports, 1x IEEE Firewire
    Case CoolerMaster Elite 310 Mid Tower Case
    Power Supply 575W Heavy Duty Power Supply
    Warranty 3 Years Labor, 2 Year Parts Warranty & Life Time Toll Free


    Any suggestions?

    and will I be able to upgrade a Dell a few years down the road?

    Thanks
