More computer stuff

So, what do you think of this computer?

It has these specifications:

Acer X3400 Desktop and 22in Monitor.

CPU and Memory:

AMD Athlon II X4.
Processor speed 2.9GHz.
4GB DDR3 RAM.

Hard drive:

500GB SATA hard drive.

DVD optical drives:

Dual layer.

Graphics:

Dedicated nVIDIA GeForce G315 graphics card with 512MB memory.

Interfaces and connectivity:

Multi-card media card reader.
9 USB ports.
1 HDMI port.
Wired keyboard and mouse.

Operating system & software:

Microsoft Windows 7 Premium.

Monitor:

22in display.
Widescreen.
Resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels.

General features:

Weight 10kg.

And it costs £599.99. Basically, I want it for work (word processing, occasionally making maps, backing up all my important files, etc.), for browsing the internet, and for not-terribly-high-level gaming (Rome Total War and Civ IV type games would make me happy).

(Yes, I know it's Argos. Erm... OK, so they don't have experts, but that's a very good way of avoiding getting patronised :) )

P.S. Do you think I can assume that the DVD drive writes DVDs as well as CDs?

P.P.S. And thank you for everyone's help in the last post!
