Done.

You have enough ram, decent processor, the 5450 should allow you to play most games I would think.

Play them, yes, play them at medium - high settings, no.

If you just want them to run, it will be fine, if you want high settings, high resolutions and good performance at those settings, you will need something with a better video card than the 5450
 
It seems pretty good for the price (£400 my end). Might struggle with certain games to come in the future, but you can always upgrade when this occours

Yeah, graphics card aren't my best thing. Now that i've actually looked up that card I agree with you. I didn't know that the 5450 was around 50 bucks.
 
thanks for the replys... i would build my own computer because i heard its cheaper but i have no idea which parts are good for gaming.. Can anyone recommend the parts i would need to build a computer that can run recent games under $800?
