How can you build a PC via the internet? O_o

Dell.com gives you quite a few options... are you looking for even more customizability? :-/

It helps to know in what country you are so you dont have to spend loads and loads of money on shipping and taxes.

Personally i'd say: buy the parts and build it yourself. More freedom of choice, possible cheaper, more fun, and you can get exactly whatever you want. Building it yourself really isn't that hard, and if you're unsure about things, get a friend or family member who knows his tech stuff.

Even someone with very little computer knowledge would know the answer to that :(
