Even if you did all that, it wouldn't cost the same.
I bought a PC last year, from Staples, the OS did not come installed, and the anti-virus protection had to be paid for. I have a hard time believing that free anti-virus protection is the best option.

You also have to look at how cheap you're buying your computer. If it's less than $600 and it's a notebook, you're probably not making a long term investment.
