that card is more than you need to simply support 2 monitors.
it still looks an awful lot like the Dell I bought for $400 less

Does anyone else agree or disagree that what I'm getting is worth the price difference?

it really depends on what "worth it" means to you. if you still want a computer as described in your OP, then no, it's not worth it to build this machine. if you are particularly interested in some of those components you've picked (which I doubt), or the ability to do somewhat easier upgrades in the future, then your custom build may be worth it.
also, you probably need to figure the cost of buying Windows, which comes included on (almost?) every Dell.
put it this way - the CPU in my PC sells on Newegg for $240. I think I got a sweet deal.
there is some work involved both ways - I had to sell a monitor, and you'll have to build a PC. at least with Dell, I got a year warranty.
you could also just buy one on Ebay, which can sometimes be cheaper than buying from Dell directly
