Go for the core i3 based PC but make sure that its motherboard has a PCI-e x16 slot,which will allow you to add a discrete graphics card to your system as and when you may need it.

Overpriced.
For 36K budget you will get I5-2320 if you make the PC by yourself.
Plus all og the components would be covered by at least 3 year sof warranty (except ODD), whereas you will get only 1 year of warranty by default with Dell desktop.

Yeah..much Overpriced...as you mentioned your "problem"...but if you configure said parts..i think you will definitely save 5-6 thousand...so choice is yours.
