Yes, obviously spend more money on a faster processor, because processors are totally the bottleneck in gaming performance.

any given i5 will give you the performance you need from a processor for several years.. get the cheapest box you can that will support a good video card.

average comp at that price range has about 250-300 watt psu which definitely does not work for a mid range card

The problem with buying gateways etc is that the motherboards are generally cheap bullshit because your average consumer doesn't care or know the difference between a $20 and a $200 mobo. So if you're going to buy a prebuilt desktop and end up swapping out the mobo, graphics card, and PSU you might as well just build from scratch (which has several other advantages).

Note: I didn't actually look at what mobo is in that, but just sayin' as a general rule.
