Sure it will. The more certifications you have, the more attractive a candidate is for hiring. It will show that, even though you don't have field experience, you care enough to at least stay current with technology and certifications while you're looking.
Also, no offense, but Best Buy and Staples are like the Wal-Mart of IT jobs. They don't pay well and they don't necessarily hire quality support people. Additionally, the hardware they service is not necessarily standard like it would be if you worked as IT support for a private company, making it more difficult to troubleshoot and easier to make customers angry.
Oh! I just thought of something else. If you want to work for a private company, a Dell certification is highly desirable. Dell still holds a firm grip on companies and government agencies, and being certified by Dell to work on their machines saves a company time and money, because otherwise they have to ship the machines to Dell to have them serviced.
