What is the difference between building the machine I posted and buying this one from Dell?

Windows 8, 64-bit, English 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770 processor (up to 3.90 GHz) Price 949.00 |
Cheaper quality parts. Very little room for upgrading or adding additional components. Less fun...

Okay, thank you

I have the HAF 912 case and it was over $100 when I bought it in 2010.
Its a really great case. |

Agreed on the CPU, at least a i5, but really, if you can afford it, get an i7. Especially for you are wanting to do. |
Just my kind of questions~
What you have is a good budget build, right now that I-5 2500k is still THE dominating budget CPU, especially with a nice big fat overclock. The rest looks ok, but definitely wont be top tier and will grow obsolete sooner than later. Please, please do not buy OEM. The OEM parts are trash, plain and simple. |

Here is another question, it was suggested that I get a SSD, is that for ALL of my apps or just a couple?

I'd say it's only necessary for your operating system and whatever applications you plan on using the most (adobe photoshop and aftereffects). |
