Yeah, it is about the same right now. But if you build it yourself, you get the parts you want. The main thing I would do if I was you is to get a new motherboard, so that you can get decent graphics, if you plan to do anying thing more then word processing.
Just brought my new pc, got a nVidia GTX 260, Amazing.
My pc Packard Bell X9910
Yeah it is a great card and overclocks nicely.
