Default Buying a prebuilt desktop

I was thinking about buying this desktop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883229091
and buying a decent video card like the 9800gtx or something and adding that to it. I am doing this since i don't have enough knowledge to build computers from scratch. Do you think this would make a decent computer for gaming?

You are best off buying the parts and paying someone $50 to put it together even though putting together a PC is no more complicated than putting together a Lego set. That build is okay but Cyberpowerpc and their ilk have no RMA service to speak of and their PSUs are cheap junk, so good luck getting a replacement when it explodes.
