Wont be able to do any sort of modern gaming on that, if any gaming at all really.

The 7300's are very poor and the 1gb of RAM will hold you back in more modern games.

The socket 754 processor and board there are long LONG dead and shouldn't be invested in at this time.

Just go around the ocuk shop picking out items, I managed to spec up a system with a 3700+, 1gbram, a x1800xt and a decent psu and case for only a little over £400.

I wouldn't go for that system personally as it isn't all that good a deal to put in bluntly, for this PC you would need to build it yourself and it does cost around £70 more(basically spent on the graphics card) but it either equals or betters the pre-built and will be much more use for modern gaming.
