I just don't understand why going with dell/lenevo would be any better, especially if I were to choose good quality hardware.
The difference is that in a year's time, you will still be able to get parts for the Dell/Lenovo, but will have to swap in a different motherboard/RAM/PSU, etc. into your self-built machine (at your expense of course). Now you have a non-homogenous environment where different machines have different quirks (especially in the case of mobo replacement).
