Yes, you probably could have done better if you built it yourself. But as you've said you don't really have the time and it's your money anyways. Plus I assume you got at least a 3 year warranty, which my encouters with Dell warranty have been pretty good when I fried my laptop MOBO twice. So if you're happy with what you got and what you spent, more power to you.
If you are planning to upgrade your GPU make sure to check your PSU first to make sure you have enough power. If your 6670 works fine for now for what you need, you can always wait since the AMD 7000 series is still rolling out and Nvidia "Kepler" 700 series should be coming in spring/summer.
Do you use this for anything besides gaming? I'm just wondering because of the i7 2600 and 12Gb of RAM

Yes, I"m a Mechanical Designer and use it for Solidworks, CAMWorks and AutoCAD daily. I did a small amount of research about the PSU before I bought it and according to everyone I've seen discussing it, it is compatible with the GTX 560 TI, though in all honesty after running Portal 2 for a bit and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, I'm feeling ok about what's in it now. I'm sure it would struggle to run BF3 on high settings, but it ain't bad.
What people are sayiing is not that the PC runs well or not. The point is, for that amount of money, you could have had a better PC. Worse still for gaming, you have an overkill CPU with a relatively weak graphics card.
