Gaming PC under $800 ?

[ModerateRepZero]

Trying to decide on a gaming desktop PC; I was tempted to pick up the basic $699 Dell Alienware x51 and with Office 2010 + discounts it's $678 before tax.

Someone posted in slickdeals the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2098

I'm tempted, but people seem to have complained about psu and the graphics card (if I need to upgrade the graphics, I have an evga gtx 550 ti; just hope it fits and is good power-wise) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130625

Thoughts/suggestions? Basically I want to play Diablo 3 decently....

keep the 550 ti, build your own PC. 550 ti is a lot faster than radeon 6670, thus it would be downgrade.

simple rule for any gaming PC is that gfx card matters the most, then CPU in distant second.

I dont think that will spit out decent fps on diablo 3 at 1080p.
