I doubt the Asus EN8400GS 512MB can play the latest games on max settings. You might want to go with a stronger graphics card such as the Radeon HD 5670 which at $75 is over twice as expensive as the EN8400GS (and even the radeon won't be able to max out settings). Also for $30 more you cold get the i5-2500 which is probably the favored cpu in this forum.
