    That should play World of Warcraft perfectly fine.

    If those are the games you want to play buying a 4870 is a big waste of money. At most go with a 4850.

    Yes it would. Although don't expect to play on max settings without lag with that 9600GT.

    Graphics: Gigabyte GF9600GT 1G 256bit DDR3 PCIE2.0 2xDVI-I HDCP 1 Price $199.00 au = crap

    Get an 8800GT for less, or an ati 4850

    Get a cheaper processor
    Spend more on the video card.

    I already have the the parts listed above, just wondering if it could play the games currently on the market.

    A 9600 can play every game on the market.

    It won't be able to play all games as Highest/Max detail/graphics setting, But it will be able to play them all.

    It will just about play Crysis at Medium Graphics.

    If you can stretch to a 8800Gts/x then do so, but a 9600 is plentiful to play all the games.

    9600 cannot play half the games on max quality unless you got a 1024*786 resolution.
