Hmm .. I have asked the Dell Community for the brand of the mobo , RAM , smps , hdd etc.
I don't know if this is the catch... but the motherboard on the Dell is based on the 785G chipset.
Hmm, actually ... when I compare... I find the Dell to be a bargain of sorts?
Let me explain:
Original Config:
x6 1055t
4GB RAM
HD 5850
500GB HDD
22" Monitor
Total = 70.2k
Dell Config:

6GB RAM
HD 5870
750GB HDD
23" Monitor
Wireless Keybd and Mouse
Total = 70.4k

Okay,
Will make the following changes:
1) Will choose the WD Caviar Black instead of Green.
2) Will choose the Corsair PSU.
3) Will choose the Benq E2220HD.

Hey guys ...

COSAIR 4GB 1333MHz - 6700
WD...
Hmmm..okay..thanks for clearing that up :-)
I'm almost final with my config , just need to call up a few places to find out the rates. Hopefully by next week i'll have a brand new rig :-D
Hmm .. I'm wondering why you suggest staying away from Asus? Any particular reason? I'd like to know about it if you don't mind...
Yes, will look for the HD5850 with custom coolers as you said.
Will call up a few shops and let you guys know about the price they are offering here in Hyderabad...

wow! Thanks a lot for your suggestions guys.
Going by ajai's words, i'm thinking of buying a 1055. But I have some other doubts:
If i am going to overclock the cpu , will i be needing a separate Heatsink fan for cooling the cpu?
The other thing i'm not quite sure of is whether I really...
Thanks Sam and Ajai for your suggestions. :-)

So I think i'd prefer taking the black edition cpu itself since it would...
