Is this any good?

Hi, please feel free to move if Ive posted in the wrong place. I am looking to get a second computer for my DD's. I have found this on eBay but am not sure if it would be ok. It would be ran wirelessly (I have broadband) and used for internet and most likely gaming. I already have a screen so dont need that.

    This will more than likely be fine for browsing websites but it won't be up to playing many modern games due to it's processor and memory.

    Yeah...

    2GB Ram, At least a Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor, nVidia 8800GT or ATI 3870HD graphics card, 320GB or larger HDD.

    In short, the most expensive you can buy. Gaming rigs aren't cheap - well at least decent ones aren't.
