You need to give us more info then.

You have $600-800 to build a system, but what parts are you re-using?

We need to know what RAM, motherboard, and case you are using, as well as what monitor(s) will be used with the system.
We need to know what games you'll be playing, and what programs you'll be using.

Alright, that doesn't help. There are different configurations of that pre-built, so we have no idea what your specs are. It looks like all of them use a proprietary motherboard with SO-DIMM's which means you won't be able to re-use RAM if you switch motherboard and case.

So, if you're going to be re-using anything, we need to actually know what you're planning on re-using exactly. Download Speccy or something and show us your current specs.

Alright, but the pre-built you have could potentially have an i7-4790 and GTX 980 inside it, which is a solid CPU and GPU. In fact, a GTX 1050Ti or 3GB GTX 1060 would be a downgrade from a GTX 980.

I'd recommend buying a new PSU since it sounds like the PSU has gone in your pre-built. Once you replace the PSU, find out what your specs are and re-use whatever is worth re-using.

If you're just building a whole new system, then this;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($178.89 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($77.69 @ OutletPC)
Memory: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($139.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($48.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($259.99 @ Amazon)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($44.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $800.53

Maybe get 8GB RAM instead for now, since it's easy enough to add another 8GB in the future. Money saved could go towards a 500GB 860 EVO instead, and/or better case/PSU. I included a budget case and PSU, both super solid for the money though. I'd add an aftermarket cooler when you have some spare money to improve aesthetics but stock cooler is fine for now.
