A. For gaming, definitely go with a desktop. It's hard to get decent gaming performance on laptops for under $1000, and they aren't upgradeable later on.
While the absolute best value for your dollar comes building from scratch, there are plenty of better deals. The first system isn't good for gaming- the graphics card is worthless and would have to be replaced, the processors is also rather slow.
Here's a much better (and cheaper) choice:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229172
Building from scratch you could get something much more powerul. Or you could spend another $150 to upgrade the graphics card and power supply on the this computer. But for WoW and Empire Total War, it wouldn't be necessary.

Could Someone Build Me A Gaming Computer For Under £1000?
Q. Hello there, i am breeding my dogs and i'll have roughly £1000 pounds left over once i've done what i want with the other money.
I've always wanted a good gaming computer, i have just never had the money, i'm now looking into building my own gaming computer. I have seen a few cards, read up on how to build them, etc...
But can't make my mind up on what is best for gaming, so could someone send me UK links to sites to build a good gaming computer? I'd be extremely greatful, i'm keen on the i5 and a XFX Radeon 5850.
So if anyones kind enough to send me UK links to cheap sites, for good quality gaming components i would also need a monitor and keyboard, seeing as i am running on a laptop currently, a good monitor is good but any keyboard will do, but if theres change then a good keyboard would be awesome!
Thankyou So Much In Advance!

A. I'm in the USA, but Ebuyer and Aria seem to be good UK-based sites for components.

Be sure to get a 2nd-generation Core i5 (Sandy Bridge). If you aren't overclocking, don't waste money on an expensive motherboard or "K" processor- get an H67 board with a Core i5 2500 (or even the 2400, which is just a tad slower)- still better than previous generation Core i7 CPUs for gaming.

Here's look at graphics cards- you might want to move up to a GTX 560Ti or Radeon HD 6950, those are newer models which generally outperform the 5850.

The Passmark rankings from videocardbenchmark.net are o.k. for a rough estimate of how cards perform, but aren't an accurate way to compare cards which are close together in performance. That's because their rankings only show how various cards perform on synthetic benchmark tests, not in actual games (which is what really matters). Some card models which score great on benchmarks perform worse in games than models which scored lower!
Check card reviews from sites like Xbitlabs, Anandtech, Techspot, Tom's Hardware, Hot Hardware, Guru3D etc. Reviews show how cards perform in actual real-world games at various resolutions, in addition to valuable information like power consumption, heat output, noise etc.
In-game results from Crysis or BC2 are better than passmark scores, any day of the week.
