Well you could save ~$300-100 if you built it yourself,monitors, keyboard and mouse aren't added right?
But assuming you aren't building a computer I think this seems like a better deal www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd ~$700

Id want a better graphics card for that price for sure.
Can you post individual prices of each part?

EDIT: And 500W PSU is a bit on the low side.
