never buy a OEM build, basically straight from manufactueres, they are usually too small
i had a oem build same brand from your link and the case was really small and my videocard i bought for it was causing too much heat so i swapped the case for a larger one
for that price you have a very good budget
you can easily get either an i7 build or a phenom 2 amd
difference is i7 intel is more expensive and amd is more bang for your buck
i used to play mw2 on pc
i tried world at war i could run it on medium settings
with average 30 fps you want at least 60 fps lol(my setup is too weak for current games)
i still have 3gb ram, an 8800 Gt(dont buy it, too much heat from the card)
and a old ass 2007 amd dual core 2.6ghz
i suggest you build your own
unless you arent comfortable building it
if you take a look at tigerdirect.ca or .com for america wherever u live
im sure you can get a custom build for the same price and it will be way better
here are some suggestions from a uk website
this pc is a beast, one of the best processors and a good videocard you can run anything on it no problem
http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-Phenom-6190-HD-Thuban-Six-Core-Custom-PC-p-18475.html
take a look around this site
it has really good builds,
i dont know if you already have a monitor or not since the site allows you to buy with or without the monitor. The monitor adds another hundred euros/dollars.
if you have an HDTV you could always connect the pc to your HD television if it has pc input,
my HDTV has pc input through VGA connetion
so if i wanted to connect it that way
i would have to buy an adapter which is really cheap
in my case the wire for my grahics card would have to be DVI.
so i connect one end to the back of the pc
and then i connect the other to the adapter and the adapter connects to the HD
thats it
cheers

example.
AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 - £79
8GB 1600MHz - £35-45
Motherboard micro atx - £50-65 (Cheapest)
PSU - £30 for cheap £50 for better
Optical - £15 probs
GPU - £80-180 6770/6850/6870/6950/560/560 ti/460/560 ti 448/ 570
HHD - £40 for a 500GB
Case - RECOMMENDED Zalman Z9/11 (Sick for price) - £45
So that adds up to around £350-£450 for a much better RIG, you could run any games on high- MAX setting (TPB) :3
Dont get the pcworld one (:
