Also, don't listen to anyone who bashes Dell or really any of the major brands. Ignorance of the industry leads to lots of brand bias based on anecdotal evidence.

This isn't to bash Dell. I've never been tinkerer, but I've always been lucky enough to know people who did. So up until 2011ish, I had custom-builts (for gaming). I had moved away from friends and acquaintances who could help, so I need a good Desktop PC and I thought to myself "Dell, they're fairly popular, sure they get negative reviews, but if they were terrible then they probably wouldn't b in business."

I sprung for a higher-end media/gaming Desktop. Not a sub-$1000 internet browsing PC.

No, I was wrong. It's easily been the worst PC I've ever owned. Has been broken since week one, serviced a couple of times that never fixed anything under warranty. I can mess with software, so I've re-installed windows, and some hardware--installed my own RAM and Hard-Drive...things I can look up online how to do.

Nothing has ever fixed the thing. Literally the worst piece of junk I've ever purchased. I'd never purchase from Dell again based on that experience. They were of little help to someone who can at least do basic installs and reinstalls of hardware and software, and they would never fess up and just replace the thing. Terrible customer service, terrible hardware.
