Lol claw, that is the exact same warrenty you get with a prebuilt. it wont cover any accidental damage. As a matter of fact for most prebuilts, even opening the case voids the warrenty on the whole thing.
This should really help.

Pre built manufacturers often do not use the ATX motherobard standard meaning you will NOT be able to switch out the mother board without buying a new case. Not to mention most manufacturers lock your bios aswell.
Out of experience, i was asking opticraft the same thing a long while back, and i even remember my dad telling me how much cheaper it is. It's like most things in life, the labour of assembling something adds a considerable amount more than doing it yourself. i built my own, i had no knowledge on it, just youtube and stuff.Mine runs any of the latest games. (newest game i've tried is F1 2012.) and, games like crysis 2, Battlefield 3, all perfectly fine, and i only spend around £500 on mine, in dollars, i guess that's about 700$. I highly doubt you can get a prebuilt for £500 / $700 that runs all the latest games perfectly fine.

I am going to have a price range of around 700$, kinda like Spikey.

I have lots of experience and knowledge regarding computer parts.
