Yes it will, but you are paying top price for it. If you assembled the parts yourself you would save a LOT of money.

You might want to consider getting a second harddrive for storage. The one included is likely a Velociraptor with very fast speeds, but limited capacity.

It'll play anything you throw at it at least nearly maxed. The price is horrendous though, you could build a MUCH more powerful Pc by yourself with even better parts. With that kind of budget you could do some amazing things.
