No, not really. I can't even imagine how slow GRAW 2 would run on that, and how distorted it would look on minimum settings.

Well I don't know how much 300E converts into U.S dollars, but that other PC is even worse.

If you're really serious about playing any of thoes games, just get an xbox 360 or something (I Think GRAW 2 is on the 360).

Where are you looking at PCs? Celerons aren't very good for games, and I don't see a graphics card listed there (which is the most important part of a gaming PC).

For the money you're willing to spend, I doubt you'll ever be able to play GRAW 2, or at least play it to the point where it doesn't look like poo. Is the Xpress 1100 128 MB an integrated chip? Cause I wouldn't suggest getting an integrated graphics card.

Yea, the P4 and 7600 is much better than the other ones, and is around the recommended requirements for the game, but its still far from great.

In this case, I would just buy a video game console, especially if your main focus for buying the PC is for video games. That one PC will be able to play the games you listed, but will have a lot of trouble with future games. If you go with the Wii or a 360 you should be good for a couple years without any worries about meeting requirements.

Its not great, the best option so far was the Pentium 4 with the 7600GT, but that is still outdated unfortunately.

Both!

The Pentium 4 is the old line of Intel processors.. there are now Dual and Quad Core CPU's out, I would aim for at least the E2000 series.

The 7600 is also Nvidias last line of graphics cards, with the 8000 series being the latest. Its still a reasonable card but I doubt it will last long playing games on nice settings, a decent card to aim for would be an X1950Pro.

The 8500, although the latest series, is a low end card, not really meant for playing games.

Mr_Mushu

Decent CPU

Reasonable RAM

HDD is fine...

Even more outdated graphics card!

You may be able to run some games with that graphics card, but overall thats the best PC you posted, I would suggest getting that and upgrading the video card and RAM when you can afford to.
