Not very good. It would play new games but at 1080p low settings mostly. What's your budget for a new computer?

Overclock that processor to get i3 like performance for cheaper.

Save some money by using Geizhals.de

Link to Geizhals: www.geizhals.de

How to use: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056907965

If you're willing to overclock, if not just say and I'll put together another build.

Edit: This does not include a Hard-drive but if you simply swap the ssd out of the build for: http://www.hardwareversand.de/en/7200+RPM/53882/Seagate+Barracuda+7200+1000GB%2C+SATA+6Gb+s.article

Why don't you buy from hardwareversand and pay an extra €30 for them to build it before shipping it to you?
You can run the parts through Geizhals for a discount, and if you're a first time buyer from hardwareversand you can google a coupon from them.

I recently seen a video about a good £400 build, I could link it if you're interested in doing the above.

Oh god if never buy from pc world.

Again, PCWorld build is inferior. If you put all of those into the basket, ran through Geizhals, got your voucher discount you'd have a prebuilt pc with windows 7 64bit and a computer far more powerful than that... PCWorld thing.
