Would it be worth it to buy a cheap dell pc or build my own pc to play this game?

Building ur own pc is the best choice and no Vista wont be a problem also wat the person said above Dell are the worst brand computers!

Those are very low system requirements. Most computers will run it, all new computers. If vista is a problem, right click the game, click properties, and in the compatibility tab click run in compatibility with windows XP

WC3 Frozen Throne is such a joke. You can basically go on craigs list and get a 2GHz / 2GB RAM for about $100 (for a nice custom) compter and that will overkill WC3FT. Look around hard enough and you'll eventually find a gamer selling his system and might throw in the WC3 bundle with the computer.

Well both may run it but I would not buy them buy something that does not have an integrated graphics card and if you want to play Warcraft 3 you may also want to play Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 coming out so I would build a machine I myself learned off of youtube and I built my first machine in 4 hours plus its fun most of the work is picking your parts but if you ask someone can tell you which is better. If you build go to Newegg.com they have rating and stuff to help you.

Ha! that game you could run it even on my 6 years old computer I have dusting on the back of my room. The problem is not the game but Vista, vista needs too much hardware, I would recommend you a 256mb or more ram on board video card for vista, or better, insted of vista, choose windows xp sp3, it's faster, more stable and more compatible with games and hardware.
As someone said before, maybe you should build it yourself, maybe some of your friends can help you, I learned from books and magazines; internet forums and websites would be better to learn. The most difficult and exciting part it's choose the hardware. You will enjoy building it up yourself, and you will learn a lot.
Build it up yourself, it is time! ;)
