I say build you're own. You'll spend less money and end up knowing a whole lot more about PC's from doing it. It's not that hard either there's guides all over the internet on how to do it.

P.S. Oh and also you dont have to worry about some company cutting corners while building it.

The monitor has an hdmi port so yeah you can hook your ps3 up.

boards.ie would be a better place to ask.
They have a full subforum dedicated to this stuff.
There's PC builders on there too.

For gaming, 4gb of ram is more than fine.

The only problem I see with 4jb ram would be the fact it's ddr3, so it'd be un-noticeably faster with 3 or 6JB instead of 4.

And yea I agree with everybody else if you wanna play Battlefield 3 your gonna need a better processor. There is no way an i3 is gonna handle a 64 player match.

Also, 6450 is a productivity model I'm nearly sure. You want something more in line with 5850 or 5890 or 6850/90 etc. And don't be thrown off by 5 or 6, the only real difference between the past 3 generations of amd cards is the power consumption is a good bit down, with not much improvement to performance, and the 5 and 6 series have dx11 support.
