The PC's you have posted wont be able to play games as mensioned that there in no graphics card, but you could just buy a £50 card and plug it in and be able to play basic games as CounterStrike hardly uses any graphic card space unlike newer games like Crysis ETC.

CSS will run fine on what would be considered a very slow CPU with next to no RAM by today's standards. But still the integrated graphics on many of today's computers can be problematic. I would recommend any stand alone ATI or NVIDIA GFX card that is fully DirectX 9 compliant with GFX dedicated memory as a minimum. Like releaf says these don't cost much these days.

ahhh CSS, i used to be a big fan of that.
to be fair i can play CSS on my laptop which has dual core 2.1, and 2 gigs of ram with intergrated ram.
HOWEVER, it is not enjoyable on my laptop as the frame rate is so slow and laggy. For that reason i would still reccomend a PC with a seperate graphics card, or one of them cheaper computers and putting in your own graphics card with 512 mg, or 1gb which would set you back about 100 pounds for a basic 1gb or maybe 50 to 60 for a 512.

Copied from the other thread asking this;
Ebuyer, dual/quad core, 4gb RAM, 500gb hard drive, obviously has the case and PSU.
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176488 - £234
Shove a £100 graphics card in of your choice (don't just go for the biggest VRAM).
£334 total, done. Install XP/7 from whichever source you like .

Acer Predator. :o Probably way too much than what you want to pay, and probably the most over-the-top PC spec. But: http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...wAg#ps-sellers
I play CS: S myself, would be nice to play with some Sax-p members

Yes !
Dell have some amazing deals on atm...
http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...303&s=bsd&fb=1
This is an amazing deal, buy a fairly decent graphic card separate £50-60, and your well within your budget
