well first off never buy your comp from dell unless you like wasting your money because they are a complete rip off even for an oem, i made a pic earliar today showing how:
Was going to post a thread earlier explaining why Dell is a must avoid.
secondly check out hardwareversand.de for €20 they'll assemble your comp aswell plus another €35 they'll install your os or best option check the "we'll build your pc for you" thread to see anyone in your location who'd put it together for you for free:

I will aslo spec you out a comp on hardwareversand for you
BTW 24gb of ram is too much overkill beings that no one would ever use that much cause believe it or not 6GB is well more than enough
Edit: also how much is your budget for this computer?0 -

Future proofing a PC doesn't really work as new tech comes along or is developed, but you can definitely build a very optimal system
A system for 3000 euros will usually only be about 10% to 15% faster than a system for 1500 euros
We have been recommending 4 gigs of ram for the last 5 years +ram is dirt cheap at the moment.
The 'optimal' processor you would need right now would be the 2600K, brand new in January from intel - about 300 dollars
A super duper motherboard for that - 200 dollars
An optimal graphics card without sounding like a wind tunnel - 300 dollars
A lightning fast SSD (solid state harddrive) - 200+ dollars
Case, power supply, normal storage drive, peripherals - few hundred dollars max
You can see we aren't going anywhere near the absolutely ridiculous price of the Dell.. which is a total ripoff.. this is a computer with a measured performance, not a classic supercar
If you are based in the US, buy from the US. If you are based in Europe - buy in Europe. I feel like I am from the sensible computer advice bureau or something

This is very true but I couldn't help myself and design a computer with a budget of €3000
