– Wireless-N LAN card

It'll play games alright. The real question is how much are you paying for it...
 
What size monitor? It'll play games decently on a 22" or smaller, though you may need to lower settings for newer games.

Though, what's your budget? You may be able to build a better gaming machine for your money than configuring a pre-built, as Jospeh alluded to.
 
Yeah my budget is about 800 maybe a little bit more.
Any ideas?
Yeah total plus tax this computer with a 21.5 monitor it was
830
