Not worth the price at all. You're overpaying $200.
Your actual cost is going to run a little over 1100, total. The system itself is not bad, for the price. But it is also incomplete.
First, it needs an operating system. Windows 8 is crap (for a desktop, anyway), so you'll want an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
Also, I'd be shocked if the power supply was not garbage quality. So you'll want to replace it immediately with something like a Corsair GS600 (my suggestion, anyway).
You can ignore the suggestion about the power supply...but your system will be much more reliable if you take my advice...
It's good but I'd replace the factory power supply. And for gaming purposes a Core i7 3770 isn't any better than a Core i5 3570. If possible I'd configure the system with a Core i5 and upgrade the graphics card to a GTX 660 Ti. Better performance for the same price.
I don't know hat your $278.75 coupon is, but if you can use it for any system you like, I suggest getting the HP Envy Phoenix (Core i5 model) and buying the system witht he cheapest graphics card option available.
Then go over to Newegg and order a GTX 660 Ti along with a power supply- install those upgrades yourself.

HP's coupon makes it appealing, but if you can swing the changes suggested above it's going to be much better.
If your planing on gaming on MORE than one monitor, you will need better than a GTX 660. However, it will work nicely for just about anything else. Make sure you have a digital too!
build your own pc, will be much better and cheaper.
