Hi all, sorry for posting this question here (i think it belongs in the hardware part) but still, i decided to post it here since it's also a post about which game(s) to play 
I have been playing WoW for quite a while, but i quitted it because i was tired of the game and i did not want to put anymore time in it, since it was an eternal grind (getting t6 was a pain in the arse). I played WoW on my laptop, now i bought a new computer and i feel like playing a new game. The stats of the computer are the following:
Intel E4600
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600
2,4 GHz
Cache (L2) 2 MB
Front Side Bus 800 MHz
3 GB DDR2
Hard disc 1.5 TB
Rotationspeed 7.200 rpm
Cache 16 MB
Optische drive AOpen DVR20x DL,IDE
Graphical card GeForce 7050
Fabrikant NVIDIA
Gedeeld videogeheugen nee
HDTV ondersteuning nee
LAN 100 Mbps
PS/2 2x
About this computer, can i play games such as Warhammer online and other big games (Call of Duty 4?) with it? Please only reply if you (really) know. I have no idea what these stats mean. Is the 3D card alright? (GeForce 7050 ???)
I am also looking for some fun games to play, anyone got an idea? I checked the 'LF game' section, but only cheap@ss people who didnt wanne pay for games posted topics there. Thanks in advance!

Warhammer online is a very CPU intensive game, while a Nvidia 7050 might still be able to run it, its considered not sufficient by some gamers, you really needed to get the 8800GT or 8800GTS and higher, with today's prices you can get a 8800GTS 640 for about 129.00 like i did.
Being that todays computers run a lot of things in the background, and if you are using Vista, even more so, you should try to target a computer in the 3.0GgZ range in DUo core. Especially if you want to run Call Of Duty 4, that is a game that demands some resources from Pc's. Not sure if you can overclock that CPU very much I hear it gets real hot. go over to Overclockers.net and ask them for help, that's where I hang out when it comes to Pc's its too bad you already bought the computer, your computer seems to be premade is it a Dell?
I have some advice for you. Stop buying Dell's, Hp's, and all the other brands, next time get a friend to help you and build your own PC, you will be much happier.
Here's my list of my Favorite PC games.
Oblivion with al expansions, say goodbye to the family, you will lose some personal time on this game.
NeverwinterNights2 also a great game.
Call Of Duty 4, Call of Duty 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Crysis A really good game
Bioshock
Assasin's Creed
Kotor 1- Favorite PC game
Kotor 2-Second Favorite
Old school- Final Fantasy VII
That's just a few titles, and type "can I run it" on google, and go to their website, and check if your PC can run certain games, it's pretty useful, GL

Thanks alot for the reply. I will check out the site you mentioned and ill also check out some of the games you brought up. I always buy premade computers, simply because i buy a new one every 9 months or so, just wanted to know if i'd be able to play a few good games with this one, it only cost me 300 bucks anyway. Might get the better graphic card, cheers!
You wouldn't need to buy a new one in 9 months if you spent the time/money to build a decent one now. Friend of mine just built a new PC for about $850 and won't need to buy a new one for at least 2-3 years. If anything, he can just upgrade along the way for cheap enough and not worry about it.
My PC cost $450, and is high end (not top, but high enough specs to run anything on the market right now) Building is the way to go, and you won't have to waste money every 9 months.
