Possible gaming PC option?

I am buying a new desktop very soon and its main purpose is to be gaming. WoW, SC2 and online shooters as Call of Duty Black Ops.
Here is a link to the desktop I like, I am just not so sure if it can run Black Ops well, or other higher-end online games.

It fits very well into my budget and I like it, I could just use some reassurance to help me figure out if it can do what I want it to do.
Thanks much in advance, FC.
 
3 things concern me:

No mention of motherboard brand/model
No details on RAM speed/timings
No hint of PSU brand/model.

Those are so important, you really don't want to cheap out on those components.

The GTS 450 is about equal to a 5750. it should be adequate depending on your screen resolution. 1280x1024 is probably all I'd trust it with.

If you looks at the pictures, there's a Xion power supply in it, and the RAM is low-end enough to not have heat spreaders. No deal.

edit: The motherboards is a cheaper version of this already cheap Gigabyte-

GPU appears to be a Palit, going by the red PCB.

Hard drive appears to be a Hitachi, going by that round part stamped into the casing.

Case is a variation on the NZXT Gamma/Rosewill Challenger, so a ~$40 part


You could probably build a much higher quality rig with similar specs for ~$750-800, especially if you go with an AMD rig. An i7 is overpowered for any GPU you're going to get in that budget.

I had also found this desktop at CyberPower.
Could this be better for what im looking for? I feel that if I get the newegg desktop, ugrades will cost equal to or more then the one above overall.
 
Honestly just build your own. Complete control over quality, and you can have your own unique system not something designed by someone trying to make money.
 
I mean, I would, but I personally do not have someone to help me build one. And I would rather have someone I know build it with me.
Edit: Then there was this. Cheaper and seems to have a better overall system. But again, Im not good with this stuff.
I really only want to stick to pre-built because I do not know how to build one and im looking to get this asap.
