I've been thinking about getting a decent gaming machine for a while so I can leave this gimmicky laptop thing from Aldi to do the browsing and work and such, but I never thought I'd actually get one anytime in the next idunno... 3 years, thanks to being a student. But then I saw this thing:

Now, ignore the price there, this thing was actually £420 in store, which seems to be absolutely amazing for what you get there (quad core AMD, 3GB RAM, 19" Monitor, ridiculous Hard Drive, 2 year warrenty etc). My friend has told me that 256mb graphics wont cope with diablo 3/starcraft 2 and such though, although it sounds like pretty good graphics to me :-/ it's also really small which means I could get it to LAN parties pretty easily. Not too many extras but I have all the extras I'll need for it anyway and really couldn't care less about software cause that's all on my laptop.
So is that as good I think it is? And what are good alternatives for a pure gaming/graphics PC (I literally only need something with good spec, I can live without software/mice/keyboards/even monitors if necessary, although the monitor from my old PC sucks)?
