I can honestly say I have no idea what is good for computer gaming or not, but what I can say is that 95% of the time, you can buy all the components that you want and build your own comupter for much cheaper. So whatever actual computer you are looking at getting, you can probably build the exact same thing for roughly 50-60% of the price of buying one.

it might not be powerful enough because theres no videocard and there may not be enough space for it
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

Rip!!!! with that moneh you could build a pc that wayy more better than that!!

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 (:
