Is this PC good enough to run these games?

PC specs:
Intel H61 Motherboard
Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 graphics card
4GB ram
500GB hard drive

Games:
Battlefield 3
Modern Warfare 3
Saints Row III
Crysis 2
Skyrim
(Basically all the modern games)

Note: I am not a hardcore gamer, I don't want to run these games at extreme quality, I just want to run them smoothly enough to enjoy them (preferably above 30fps on medium or higher settings)

Thank you
 
The video card seems a bit iffy.

You might do medium OK on all those things, though.

Assuming you haven't bought the parts yet, I would spend $50 more to get a HD 6850 video card. It would give like 3x the FPS for 2x of the cost.

The mid-range cards are where the budget conscious look for price/performance.

Both the low and high end cards are overcosted.

If under $100 is important for video cards, a HD 6770 will do roughly 2x of the GT 440 for $90 vs $75.

depend on ur monitor resolution

if u don't mind reducing resolution to playable frame rate, it'll be ok for u.

but if u have some extra 30 usd, upgrade the graphic card to nvidia 450 or amd 6770.

it will definite improve in all the games.
