Should I build a new PC or buy a pre-built PC?

I was looking at websites like CyberpoweredPC, TigerDirect, Newegg and etc. and after looking at their custom built deals I am wondering if getting those made is better for the money than just getting a PC from Gateway or Dell?

I hope to do some gaming, but only looking to spend $600-700. I know I can't get top end for that but I can definitely get a desktop that can run the latest games on medium settings at decent frame rates. I am mainly looking at SC2, Battlefield 2, and the new FFXIV MMO. I already have a 9800gtx in my current PC with a 550w power supply that I could move to a new PC.

So....

Should I get a custom built PC from CyberpoweredPC, Newegg or etc. and if so which should I go with?
OR should I just buy a PC from Dell, Gateway etc and just put in my graphics card and power supply I already own?

Thanks a lot!
