Yeah thats a great one... it should run them without a problem Possibly you might need to upgrade the video card but thats all...- Griff

one problem is the graphics card.Try to get a mid 7-9 series nvidia if you are an nvidia fan......

If anything i would upgrade the processor and the video card. I would get at least a 4000+ series amd processor. My 3700 can barely run newer games at mid settings. Also, get either an 8000 or higher series nvidia video card. The card you are looking at is about 4 generations old. Preferably, get an 8600gt or similar. Then you should be all set for gaming.

Your first priority is to change your graphics card since that one won't give you good graphics for those games. Try this one...http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=P56-8500I am not sure if that will be compatable with your mobo so ask a salesman from microcentre since you did not give any info about your motherboard.It would be good if you had a good better CPU than you have now but I guess you should be fine. Since you can not necesarily just change your motherboard you should upgrade your RAM to 4 GBLastly I hope you have a good monitor that has at least a screen resolution of 1024x768. Or else all of this above is worthless.

Nope, that it can't. When buying a new computer you need to look at a few things that this computer is obviously lacking. Processor speed, Ram speed, and the most important one the graphics card. Also that's a very small hard drive for a pc, if you were going to pay anything over 300$ for this computer I would call that a rip off.Take a look at this sight and find something close to your budget.http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/I would personally recommend :http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Mega_Special_II/ For a lower price range, but if you could go any higher get this one:http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/G...FireX_Pro/Good luck, and if you have any questions feel free to email me.
