Should i get this gaming computer?

Q. Hello,

lately i have been searching for a decent gaming computer so ive gone to best buy to look and they honestly have nothing there the best that i found in tou he store was a cheap 540 dollar asus which got horrible reviews. Now i have been looking on the bestbuy website and i think i found one that i like(link will be at the bottom). Now before you look at the computer i want you to know that i am what people would say is a begginer gamer im not very knowledgable to computers and specs but i know what is a piece of junk and what is quality equipment(not going by price). So with this computer i am hoping to play games like

-company of heroes 2(medium to high quality good fps[30-40]
-total war rome 2(low to medium with decent fps)
-civilization v(medium to ultra with very good fps)
-arma 2 oa, arma 2 and dayz(low quality to whatever with enough fps to the point i can actually play the game)
-garrys mod, tf2, etc

So please tell me if i got this computer that if i could actually play the games and if you are going to suggest a computer make sure its not like 1200 dollars, my budget is about 700 max thank you.

Heres the link to the computer -------------> http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberPowerPC+-+Gamer+Ultra+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/9177174.p?id=1218994550644&skuId=9177174

A. My Macbook Pro with a 6750M plays Civ5 (with a large amount of opponents), TF2 and GMOD on highest settings above 30FPS. I play DayZ/Arma 2 and Total war on low to medium settings at 30FPS. I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed through boot camp. If I can run it well on a laptop then you can run it even better.


Help with civ 5 slang and phrases?
Q. I'm kinda a noob :( and i have heard some strategies and stuff in forums but i need help.

People described a strategy where you "build a tall empire" and "get a tech advantage and pushing out", i have no idea what they mean.

Also, how do you get other civs to be afraid of you? Granted, the highest difficulty i've ever played was warlord.

And what is GG? Not great generals, the other term.

"The UA is OP, the UU and UB are UP" - what does this mean?

Also ICS and REXing?

Any extra abbreviations or terms that you know would also be appreciated.

A. In multiplayer, GG usually refers to 'Good Game', OP and UP normally refers to 'Over-' and 'Underpowered'
