Yeah, you should be good then no matter what you pick up.
I'd suggest something really basic...like an UK equivalent of Athlon 64 X2 barebone system such as this.

You can add a 500 gb hard drive, DVD writer for another 100 bucks (combined for both), and a basic video card like the 5550 for another 80 bucks...and you're set.
This kind of set up will play most games on mid setting at 720p resolution and is good for everything else.
If you don't have an OS to install or MS Word, it may be wise to go to a retail outlet which includes those with the computer.
