If you are planning on buying from PCSpecialist you are allowed to post the link, if however you are buying from elsewhere you are not allowed to, and we cant really advise on PCs from elsewhere - this is because PCSpecialist are in the business of selling custom built PCs and laptops so do not want their competitors advertised on their forums :)

Fair enough, I wasn't sure what exactly I was allowed to post here

You could probably run most modern games at significantly reduced settings and resolutions and achieve somewhat playable frame rates but as with everything in life you get what you pay for. I'm not accusing it of being bad for the price but it's not a machine for serious gaming. For the same money you'd do much better with a console.

I'd also be wary of buying a system that doesn't specify the brand of power supply or motherboard. Cheap unbranded PSUs often lack any PCI cables, making it impractical to add anything but a lower end GPU, and it's not clear what you would have in the way of motherboard lanes either.
