gaming computer basics?

Q. i want to get a computer that can handle some casual gaming
(no not talking about flash games and things of that nature) im probably only going to play AoE and starcraft(2).
So i need to know what does what for a computer
such as graphics speed memory and what affects download speed
how much ram i need or Ghz im looking into building my own cause A its cheaper i hear and B sounds like fun
as you can tell im a computer noob (yes i said noob) if you can give me a link or if you want to take the time to tell me what i need here its all fine
thank you for your help.
i know thats not ALL i need for a gaming pc thats why im asking what hardware i need and where to get it. i oviously dont know anything about computer
i also need to know what does what cause if i decide to buy a computer i wont know if its good enough for what i want it to do.

A. The following are the minimum requirements for a computer to run Age of Empire III:
�Microsoft Windows XP
�A computer that has a 1.4 gigahertz (GHz) processor
�256 megabytes (MB) of system RAM
�A hard disk that has at least 2 gigabytes (GB) of available space
�A 32x speed CD drive
�A 64 MB video card that supports Hardware Transform and Lighting
�An audio card and speakers or headphones
�A Microsoft mouse or a compatible pointing device
�A 56.6 kilobytes per second (KBps) or faster Internet connection for online play
�DirectX 9.0c

Note: These are the minimum system requirements that a computer must have to run Age of Empire III. You may experience increased performance on computers that exceed these requirements.

Note: To install Microsoft Age of Empires III Expansion: The War Chiefs, you must have Age of Empires III installed.

How will this computer preform with new games?
Q. Hi guys,after long time of having this computer i am finally gonna buy a new one,i wasn't able before due to money problems.I have limited money and even more limited payment method (total of 3 big stores in Serbia support this) so i can't build my computer on my own and i have to use pre-built one.Here are the specifications,what i want to know around what fps will newer games run on different settings (Using resolution 1920x1080 or 1280x720 if i really have to).

CPU:
CPU LGA1155 Intel® Core� i5-3450, 3.10GHz/6MB BOX 22nm
Motherboard:
B LGA1155 B75, PCIe/DDR3/SATA3/GLAN/7.1
Power supply:
It's 500W,but there is no listed manifacturer,so I will most likely get a new one anyways.
GPU:
AMD Radeon 7770 1GB/DDR5/DVI/HDMI/DP/128bit
RAM:
8GB (2x4) DDR3
HDD:
1TB (not sure about the speed)
Sound card:
Integrated
Box:
ATX Mid Tower (I like it and there's frontal jack for headphones/microphone).

It costs me around 475 euros which is around 600 dollars.Tell me what you think about it for the price and how will it preform as I asked earlier ^^.
Edit*Specially interested how will Guild Wars 2 preform.Thanks in advance.

A. This is the set of information needed to evaluate GPU, CPU, projected gaming based on closest matched GPU by G3D score of the 2nd web site, and then the HD 7770 power needs and Guild Wars 2 info:

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=796&graphics=Radeon%20HD%207770%201GB%20GDDR5
Guild Wars 2 does not release for a couple of days. There is limited information for how it would perform:
http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=684&game=Guild%20Wars%202
The fact that you are above recommended requirements should then be no problem to play fairly maximum.

The CPU is good. i5-3570K is ideal for its gaming as 4 core, powerful, high clock rate, and overclockable. i5-3450 is not overclockable, but not far down in performance. Gaming typically is 2 to 4 cores maximum.
The HD 7770 is a low power card based on a PCIe 3.0 attach and the B75 motherboard should have PCI 3.0 instead of only 2.0, considering it is also SATA III, but that is not always true.
HD 7770 is only an 80 watt card which is very low. The system 500W minimum is less critical than a recommended 20 amps on 12V for the system, and I prefer 1.5x min for 30 amps on 12V. Only a few 500 Watt supplies have 30 amps.
This cheap Diablotek is 17A:

Yet a little better one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159124
is 34A
So, The system is good for what it is. Midgrade new level graphics using very low power and a good CPU matching to it.
Above allows you to evaluate one vs another.
With a G3D score of 1000, every game is playable on at least minimum.
The HD 7770 is G3D 2056. It should so well as seen from the notebook gaming
Of course, it is not GTX 660 ti at 3475 that actually in gaming matches HD 7950 3757 score.
As to the price, that varies by country with import taxes. I think $600 is fair in Serbia for the system.
You can check competing ones with the data set I provided here.
