Looking to buy a new computer: All In One?

Alright so, I'm in need of a new computer pretty bad. Though looking around online I came across this computer.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+TouchSmart+All-In...

I'm trying to look for a computer that fits my budget, which isn't really all that big sadly. Though I ran across this computer. I really didn't think it was to bad seeing the computer has a pretty good hard drive which is a massive upgrade from my (60GB) Hard drive. Another thing was the Ram which is 8GB and mine only has 2GB. My budget I would say is probably no more then 800 dollars..and that's pushing it really. The things I normally do on a computer is the following things:

World of Warcraft

Starcraft

Sims games

Surfing the net

Music

Just to really sum it up, I'm a big computer gamer. So most of the things that may be on the computer are games. I was wondering if maybe this was a decent system for something like that? Again I'm not really looking for Ultra settings for a game. Maybe not playing everything on high graphics, that really doesn't mean much to me. I'm more so into fps stability.

Also I was told that All in One computers really are not up-gradable. Though I was wondering if this one was? It's not really to much of a big deal if it isnt..but if it is then that is a plus.

Update:

Yeah I know I need a good graphics card. The card listed with it seems to be pretty good. ATI Radeon HD 4270 graphics

Looking it up on youtube even some of the lower models, the graphics on it wise was A LOT better then mine. Playing World Of Warcraft, I have to play everything on low and usually I still get around 7-15 fps. Sometimes lower.

    It's suitable for you if as you said you don't care about having those games on the highest settings, they should perform fine.

    And yea all in one's aren't easily upgraded because they have no standard design and are all built differently.

    You have to make sure of several things: First, that what is causing your lag is your computer, not your internet (There is a difference between lag and bad graphics)

    There can be several issues that cause your games to lag. Slow internet, not enough ram, and graphics card.

    If you are sure its your computer, then upgrade to something like this

    That computer is extremely powerful and will be able to blast through any of those games easily. And, it comes out to about 800 bucks shipped. That company is extremely reliable, and the parts in it are top notch (4 GB of Ram is enough to do most things. You arent an extreme hardcore gamer who plays Crysis II or anything, so its fine. If you are in need of more ram, you can always order some and add it on)

    You need to focus on an awesome graphics card if those are the games you play. All the other computer specs are MORE than enough to handle those games.
