That would run those games no problem. However I wouldn't recommend buying a pre-build.

I can put together parts for you.

What is your price range?

Building a pc is not hard and you will get alot more for your money.

problem with these prebuilds is they use low end motherboards and powersupplys. They try to use the cheapest components possible to make as much profit from the pc. So your essentially paying £700 for a pc which you could build yourself for £450

Oversight my budget is around £600-£770

The only requirements for build a pc is having two hands and a brain, A five year old could build a pc. Its not as hard as you may think.

r9 280 is a pretty good card for what you're trying to do. However getting a 280x or a 290 will be a little more futureproof if you can afford it.

I have the asus 280x, I'd avoid asus if possible. Their customer service is garbage. EVGA is the best brand but they're only nvidia

Not bad specs but over priced. Motherboard is poo, as is case. Something like this will be perfect;
