Hello.
Is this the computer you want to buy?
Asus CP6230-NR007S
If yes then the computer isn't bad (though it has a lot of things that you can replace but they will be fine in gaming) apart from the GPU.
You need to replace the graphics card. A GTX660 should be a better choice. It will make it a great gaming build.
But if you want to change some other things also:
CPU: get rid of 3770S and take a 3770 (shouldn't have any cost change) or a 3570 ($100 less!!!!!)
RAM: instead of 8GB 1333mhz try to find 2x4GB 1600Mhz.
Thats it

Dronxa :
THX FOR THE HELP AND IT IS THE SAME WEBSITE I WAS GOING TO BUY FROM!
AND IT IS THE SAME WEBSITE I WAS GOING TO BUY FROM!
Anytime
. Just watchout cause I just figured why they are using such energy savings parts.
I guess that refers to PSU right?
By placing the CPU to 3570, you have plenty of euros to spend (I live in EU too
, so it will be around 100!!!) in a good PSU (CX500) plus a better GPU (GTX660)

I am afraid that yes. You need to change the PSU which is crap for a gaming build.
And I just took a look at the desktops. They are not fit for gaming. But, by taking Packard Bell L4875 and placing a corasir CX500 (a dranded 2xPCI-E PSU) and a GTX660 (or any other at the same class more or less..) you can have a gaming build too

Yes a GTX660 needs 150watt. An other around 100watt is needed (at least) by the rest of the system + the CPU. Not to mention the GTX660 needs 1 PCI-E 6pin. Well you can do the job with CX430 too (which is cheaper but you are limited to 1x PCI-E GPUs).
Anyway the point is that the PSUs these desktops have, are too weak to support a good GPU. That's probably why I haven't see any good and cheap gaming build. They prioritize looks from performance :S on a gaming build... Just no comment...
So either take Packard Bell L4875 and place a CX430 + GTX660 or, look for other websites too
. (IF you are going to look on other sites, just be sure the gaming PC to have: For CPU: i5 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, For RAM: 8GB, and for GPU: GTX 660 or more or any AMD equal.)

Manual = http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Desktop/CP6230/E8172_CP6230.pdf
As you can see they have the PSU standing 90degrees. Let me find more

Hmmm. This seems to be a problem:
And everywhere I search they are saying the same thing: Difficult when Upgrade
Asus Desktop CP6230 Performance Review (ps: The PC speccs are not the same as yours, but the tower is. We just want to see what the tower is capable of.)
You cannot even place a better card unless maybe the Direct CU mini (GTX760 and GTX670 versions).
Are you sure you want to buy this PC with this minitower?

Dronxa :
which page P
P
12. But the PSU is smaller.
OK. Since you want to buy this, nomatter what, at least we need to find something to fit inside this and at least to provide you a better gaming epxerience with the limit of 200watt.
ps: I just found an other a little more expensive method but with far :
AP-MFATX40P8 400watt PSU that fits with 2xPCI-E 6pins connectors.
And a ASUS GeForce® GTX 760 DC Mini or ASUS GeForce® GTX 670 DC Mini.
That would make the Asus CP6230-NR007S a gaming beast
