A decent gaming rig setup? Not really. You'd be able to play most games on low-medium settings (depending on the RAM, which isn't listed, I mean if you only have like 512mb or 1GB of general RAM, you can forget it), but don't expect anything spectacular. The GT240 wasn't designed for gaming when it came out and now it is sveral generations behind. For £110 it isn't 'horrid', but it's better to save the cash and invest it in a better system in the future.

It might have been acceptible a few years back, provided it had 2gb of RAM and you only wanted to play games at low to medium settings with shadows and AA off. Nowadays, even at such a small price, you'd just be wasting your money truthfully. Better to save up and buy something proper.
