I would personally get a 1TB hard drive as the primary hard drive, but not for an extra €60, that is a rip off, it should only really be an extra €15-20. I would also get a second hard drive to keep Steam on, but they are asking for €180 when you can buy one yourself from Komplett for less than half that.

DVD drive is fine, if you go for the 24x one rather than 16x then it will read data a bit faster but will be noisier and is not worth an extra €10.

Just built a whole system on Komplett with 12GB RAM, 2x 1TB hard drives, 2x 5770 (they don't have the 5890 on the site, so the 5890 will work out a little cheaper), i7 920, with Windows 7 HP 64-bit as well as really good aftermarket CPU and GPU coolers which will make the computer near silent for €1800.

Doing the same with Dell, it comes out at €1928 again using 2x 5770 to make the spec the same, 12GB RAM and 2x 1TB hard drives, but you don't get the aftermarket CPU and GPU so they will likely be the stock ones which can be fairly loud and you won't be able to overclock the Dell, whereas you can overclock a custom machine.

Individual parts. If you put your soundcard in you will void your warranty and lose the only benefit of buying a Dell.

Komplette.ie for parts. It is a dell and as sparksy will tell you there is nothing wrong with a dell. And I don't like the look of their awful cases .
