New computer for gaming! Help ASAP?

[LukeD15]

I was wondering if this computer would be good for gaming?
I want to play games such as doom 3 and quake 4 half life ect. And I am unsure on which video cards are the best could someone tell me if the pc is worth buying? Also if its not do you know of any items on ebay selling for £450 max which would suit my needs?

The one I found is below.

I wouldn't buy it, cause it uses a Sempron processor and the X1300 sucks. First impression was that it uses an Athlon64 CPU, but it's just a 64-bit Sempron.

There's no Sempron that's clocked at 3.4ghz...don't buy it, they're trying to trick you.

And they don't seem to know what they're talking about.

AMD 64Bit 3400+ CPU With Heatsink/Fan

- 64Bit Design Actual Mode 3400+ With L2 Cache

Like it's one of the rare CPUs with L2 cache.

And the "Major Brand Used For Awesome Performance", what does that mean. It's a generice shitty brand?

And you'd think a company would afford better software than Paint, cause you can obviously see that it's saved as a .jpg file with Paint due to the poor image quality which happens during compression.

i think they advertise it at 3.4ghz because it performs like a celeron d 3.4ghz.
either way they should advertise it correctly.
x1300... absolutely not. the x1600 series is considered to be pretty bad... and the x1400 in laptops isnt good either. the x1300 in a desktop is for watching movies thats about it.
can you order off of newegg?
