My concern would be the graphics card because it is OEM only and not that fast (like only 48 cuda cores):
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=191641

But you can always sell it and buy a better card because the rest of the specs look alright to me. You only didn't tell how fast the 6Gb memory is...

So, is this one better? NVIDIA GeForce GT520 1GB DDR3

I haven't more info about the RAM, sorry.

I would say that would be a good setup, just get a better graphics card something like this http://www.cclonline.com/product/545...-Card/VGA0139/ however the card you have would be fine im sure

@RafaSimpsons you can make a good machine for a lot less, my pc cost £500 about 5 years ago, and it still plays the most recent games with no issues

enter this site (worten.pt) translate with google, and tell me which computer do you recomend me.

£500 is more than 600€, so, it's practically the same price.
