It's a nice PC, all the games you have will run flawessly, even Bioshock. You will be able to run Crysis nicely on high settings if you reduce AA.

 

Thanks for your entry but I have no Idea whats an AA????

Anti-aliasing. It smooths out pixel stepping on object outlines as well as textures.

Turning up AA makes images look smoother, but requires processing power that effectively slows down your FPS rate.

So it's often a toss up between output resolution, FPS, quality, and processing effects (AA/AF). If you want to turn everything up, it means buying higher end hardware for games like Crysis.

Frame rate is arguably the most important since that determines playability for FPS games. Meaning, if it looks choppy, turn down (or off) AA first. Turn down output resolution next. You can always turn down quality, but it makes a lot of games look like older generation games (lower texture resolution, primitive lighting/particle effects, simpler physics, etc.) at lower settings.

You can run games like Bioshock with max everything (quality, AA, etc.) and still get a smooth FPS rate with your set up.
