Memory is easy to upgrade.

Video cards are easy to upgrade.

Processors are not so easy to upgrade.

Hard drives are easy to upgrade compatability-wise, but require a little more effort and in your case research than video cards or memory.

Do a little hunting around for coupons and promotions if you're going to have Dell build you a computer. Sometimes they have really good rebates. Try the "Hot Deals" forum at anandtech.com, I remember seeing a lot of Dell promo threads when I used to read there regularly.

Good luck.
