Wouldn't get that to play games.

1. It has a very slow graphic card.

2. The CPU is a dualcore, your looking at playing two RTS witch often make use of more than two cores. (well if you keep playing RTS many more games do use multi core threads.)

3. It's a prebuilt dell, i would try to build a custom PC, you will still have warranty on all the parts you buy.
