Is this PC suitable to run Planetside 2 at at least medium level graphics
http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/AMD+Gaming+P...

If not, would an i5 Quad core (overclock-able to 4.2GHz)/GTX760 rig be any better? This is with all the same specs the same.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

I will also be using it for Music production, any some other fairly new games. The audio production should be covered via the 8 GB of ram though.

Well an I5 and GTX760 based system will outperform that system quite a bit. But an overclock capable I5 system will be a little more expensive that 600-/+$.

However make sure that the PSU that that PC comes with is a decent model, most come with second rate low quality PSUs.
If might be best to build your own custom build.

Thanks man, i've already got a decent power supply so that should be fine, i'm surprised all of that only came to £600, just hope it is actually the same price UK wise as i'm on sort of a budget, <£750...
