Hi, looking for a pc which I can use for gaming (games such as gta 4, mafia, call of duty etc)
Want something that will run these games quite well for under £600ish if it is possible?

I just got a price on PCSpecialist.co.uk:

Quote:

Case
COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE + 2 FRONT USB
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i3-540 Dual Core (3.06GHz, 4MB Cache) + HD Graphics
Motherboard
ASUS® P7H55-M SI: MICRO ATX VALUE MAINBOARD,USB 2.0 & SATA 3.0Gb/s
Memory (RAM)
4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 2GB)
Graphics Card
1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5450 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

£567 inc. delivery

so would that be good enough or would i need to improve the graphics card? don't really know much about computers anymore so help would be appreciated.
also, i would rather have an intel processor than amd, but just whatever you can come up with really.

thanks!

That PC will be poor for gaming.

Both the CPU and GPU need upgrades.
