CSS and CSGO World of Warcraft League of Legends SWTOR[/QUOTE] CSS & CSGO: Easily on High settings WoW: Probably pretty well on High LoL: Easily on High SWTOR: No doubt on Medium/High My only concern is that Pegatron card, on how long it'll last. However 6570s are relatively inexpensive.

That isnt really a great computer. The CPU is really old, and the PSU is an IED waiting to blow up. I would offer more than 100$.

With a 1 gig graphics you should be able to run all those games. The processor is a little low Ghz wise. But other then that seems like a pretty good deal. But if you bought that computer I would suggest buying a new power supply and hdd.
