    There is a What Do I Buy section.  However, modern computers (all brands) use NTFS for the hard drive file type and DOS does not recognize NTFS.  You would have to reformat any drive to FAT for DOS to recognize it. There may also be problems getting drivers for any of the hardware.

    Its MS-DOS.......

    Have no clue which Dell PC will work since I abandoned MS-DOS over 15 years ago. Most people have.

    What model PC are you using now?
