So what's so bad about a gaming PC for under a grand with no SSD? Add an SSD and tack on another $150 (and this all assumes they reuse case/cd-rom/random cables).
Also, what's wrong with newegg? They've always been amazingly helpful whenever I've had an issue. I just ordered a 2TB HDD and the next day they had a sale; they gave me a $20 gift card for missing it. Seems like a decent company to me.
Yeah, I f'ed up the mobo/cpu combo (it was a VERY quick build) and an SSD would be ideal but not completely necessary for this use case. Though, the PSU is about right; you never want to have your PSU above ~60% load for any long period of time. Your PSU is the most important piece of a PC; it fries and everything attached to it can fry. It will also last a lot longer.
Umm your psu comment is extremely wrong. They are designed to run at their specified wattage. And the efficiency on a psu is normally better the closer it runs to its proper wattage. 80% means it runs at a min of 80% effeciancy at 25,50,100 load levels. Generally they run more efficient at higher load levels though.
EDIT: I want to point out that you should not be running a psu at 100% load all the time, but 60% would have you buying a 1k watt psu for 600 watt power draw which is way overkill. ITs the quality of the PSu that matters the most.
i play on a decent rig and im on all lowest setting possible. any higher I and I get between 30-50 fps. on low I get 60 everywhere(well 59) and 30-40 in cities and big fates. something has to be wrong.

I see people with similar build who say the don't drop from 60 fps, either they lie or my pc sucks!
Built my own rig 3 days ago and the performance on this game is all over the place.
My setup:
i5-4570 @ 3.2
MSI B85 Military 4
GTX 670 Power Edition OC
8GB Elite RAM 1600
2013 GS gaming 600w corsair.
Here are some pics to show that panning the camera round just kills my FPS:
