That computer should easily handle all the things you listed. Plenty of RAM, nice processor, great but not common graphics card. If you're not sure about anything to do with compouters, no sense is upgrading the GPU, it's fine.

PC World = big no no. Unless you're a fan of extended warranties.

However the computer will do what you want, though personally I wouldn't buy anything from PC World.
