It's possibly not the best deal though, if you can buy online check sites like ebuyer.com and pcspecialist.co.uk and you'll probably find a better deal (you may have to buy a monitor separately though).

If you're buying a desktop the main difference between different models that will actually affect the game will probably be the graphics card, for high you probably want at least: nvidia 8600 or higher numbered, nvidia 9500 or higher, nvidia GT 120 or higher; or ATI HD 3650 or higher, or ATI HD 4650 or higher.
I have an ipower pc with slightly better spec than this and it runs smoothly on full settings. My previous pc was from pcspecialist and while it was cheaper than competitiors at time (Dedll, Mesh, Alienware) it wasn't as robust and always had a few glitches. It rcently melted after playing sims 3 on it and while it was 4 years old I did spec it to be top of the range and with gaming cooling so it should have still held its own
