No ...

It's the wrong colour ...
and it doesn't have any coloured whizzy fans going around inside a spider-shaped side panel.

OVERCLOCKERS is the place to be.

thanks for the pointless answer
Should cope with the games you have in mind. Might be a bit noisy with the stock cpu cooler, but not a problem.

okay thankyou, i think i can handle the noise:p
Drop Call of Duty, get Battlefield 3 instead!!!!

haha dont worry ill be getting that too !
Get more RAM. You will notice a heck of a difference if you double the amount you have listed. Your choice of motherboard (I would not have chosen this one) will allow a maximum of 8GB of RAM.
Although a lot of games won't use any extra RAM above 4gb as most of them are 32bit.

The OS is 64bit so that will use RAM above 4gb.
Just noticed your PSU is only a 450 watt as well. Most of the modern GPUs need a minimum of 500 watt so I would look at getting one of that power or above.
My opinion is that for a gaming computer you should get...
