Yes, this is impossible. Double your budget and you have a chance.

I reckon its worth the money.
They have used pretty much the cheapest of everything(not even a DVD RW included!)but with a decent graphics card it will be good enough to play the games you want.

Well if you selected it yourself well done.
Future gaming?
Well it can be upgraded to quad core,4GB ram and pretty much whatever graphics card you want though a new PSU might be in order for that.
So yes I suppose but the phrase "Future Proof" is a lie.
I can make my own rig struggle with some of todays games if I max everything out.

Grab that and a 9600GT and you're good to go. Though you could probably build a better system (better processor and memory esp.) for cheaper.

Default Possible Gaming Computer

Just adding to the posts here but, like everyone else has said, 180 pounds is not going to get you a system you would like.


My advice is to save up ( 300-400 ) come back here and get yourself a mighty fine rig. It will be alot worth it.

Short answer is yes.

The faster your cpu/ram/expansion card(s) can communicate the 'faster' your pc will run.

I notice you don't relate a screen resolution when quoting your gaming build.

This is by far the most important thing to think about when spec'ing a gaming computer/build. A system that games at 1280x1024 (17-19" screen) with AA/AF and details sliders set to 'high' with no problems may not be able to game above that resolution (1680x1050 - 20-22" screen/1920x1200 - 24-27" screen).

And let's face it, why compromise on your gaming enjoyment when (generally speaking now) when there's build spec's out there that can pretty much allow AA/AF and high detail settings on any resolution on just about any game.

So, before giving you any advice, what's your screen resolution?

Nice to see you spec'ing from PCSpecialist; good company.
