1,200$ budget gaming PC

Hey guys, I need help with building a PC with a 1,200$ budget. I was about to get a pc with many other things like a 19" Led screen for less than 1,200$ but I am not sure if the GPU is that good, this is the PC with other things:
Intel i7 3.4 GHz
8GB RAM
1 TB HARD DISK
1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 250
DVD WR Drive
Monitor Samsung 19'' LED
Windows 7 Home Ultimate 64Bit
D-Link Wireless adapter
Scanner HP Scan jet G270
Printer HP Laserjet CP 1525 Color
-----------------------------------
All of this is for 1,100$ , so I'm not sure if it's a good deal, considering the GPU. I really would like to play Guild Wars 2 'when it's released' on high graphic options, and to be able to play other awesome games also, if you could advise me if I should buy this or get seperate parts + monitor screen. If it's separate parts please tell me from which website can I get it from, because I live in Qatar, and in Qatar there aren't any hardware shops around.

Thank you in advance.


Edit: Also I don't really need a scanner, printer or a wireless adapter, it's just what's in the 1,100$ deal

You're right to be worried about that graphics card and new games (check out this chart from Tom's Hardware : Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart : Best Graphics Cards For The Money: May 2012).

Before I give you any shopping advice, how did you find this machine?
Do you know of any local builders?

I have no idea where to send you to buy hardware components in Qatar.

It would also be helpful to know the make and model numbers of the hard drive, ram, motherboard, and power supply.
