You will get a router....it will make ur wired connection wireless not ur desktop connect to a wire less network


You mean this- The Dell Online Store: Build Your System ?

Btw, for the wifi question previously, in the customizing part on their site, they let you add a "wireless network", does this mean I'll have Wireless Connection to be Wi-Fi?

Wireless Network card may be?

Something like this: *imgs.tootoo.com/e3/84/e3846e857b1c18b8bf853dd19c01188c.jpg

It will allow you to connect to a Wi-fi network if you have one in your home or surrounding area.

Oh, ok ok. But because I only have 1 ethernet port, which is already taken up, I'll need a wireless network card indeed. Is there any PC that has that with the specs I'm looking for at price of around $500?

Btw, what does ": Integrated 10/100 BaseT network interface (Broadband Ready)" mean?
This may seem like a very "stupid" question, but this means it can only work for ethernet and not wireless networking?

It means, Ethernet port.

If you are using WiFi router, which will most probably have ethernet port to connect to computer it will work.
Other way you can connect your wireless networking device is USB, which again a common to all PCs.

In any way, you shouldn't be in trouble with either ethernet or USB IMO.

Intel Core i3-2100 processor @ $125
Asrock H67M B3 motherboard @ $95
Corsair XMS3 2*2GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM kit @ $45
Seagate or WD Blue 500GB Hard disk @ $40
NZXT Gamma cabinet @ $40
Seasonic S12II 430w or Corsair VX450 power supply @ $70
Logitech Keyboard and Mouse combo @ $15
19" monitor of your choice @ $80
Wireless G (Wifi) PCI card @ $20

Total = $530

The above configuration lacks a graphic card which you will need to play demanding games. Extend your budget by $100 and you can get a very good graphic card.

$70 = ATi/AMD HD 5670 1GB
$100 = nVidia GTS 450 1GB
$130 = ATi/AMD HD 5770 1GB
$160 = ATi/AMD HD 6850

But the problem is that I don't want to risk failing a build......

Believe me, nothing will fail. What I have suggested is much much better and powerful than what Dell/HP will offer you in your budget. Every individual product you are buying has its own warranty through the manufacturer.

Go to your hardware vendor. Give the list of components which I've suggested you to him. Pay him a little extra ($10) and he'll assemble it for you.

Dell/HP are giving you a config which has an outdated Intel processor and perhaps a sub-par power supply which will not even let you add a better graphic card later. Custom builds offer you much more performance per dollar.
