New PC with directx10?

I'm looking to buy a new PC and have read that it should support directx 10.
Looking on some big manufacturers web sites, only some very expensive Dells
seem to. Can I buy any fairly high-spec PC with Vista, chuck in a directx 10
graphics card and I'm done, or are there any other things to worry about like
the chipset? Thanks.

You only have to worry about the chipset if you want to enable SLI or
Crossfire. I have an old Pentium 4 computer (about 4 years old) and I just
bought a AGP HD2600 Radeon graphics card and replaced my old graphics card.
I now have DirectX 10 graphics.

Yes. You can get a fair DX10 from newegg.com for around 100.00
