I'm new to PC gaming, and to computers for the most part (Other then email and small things like that) and I just recently bought a new computer for gaming (Which sadly is taking its time getting here Hehe). Silly me tho did not think of finding somewhere to ask about it before I got it. I am reading off of a print out of the specs of my new computer so please forgive me if I write it wrong (as I stated new to hardware and in depth part of computers) or if I am in error with the information.

I'm sorry about the caps and the short lettering, but that is exact how it is. Not sure if it makes a difference or not.
I want to play games such as Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghost and other first person shooters (I think that is what they are called from what I have read). Such as Left 4 Dead 2 and Titanfall
I would also like to play The Secret World, Star Wars: The Old Republic and/or World of Warcraft as my Massive Multi-Players Online.
Overall I am curious if this is at-least decent for a new gamer, or if I need to have my local shop change anything to improve my experience?
I am not sure what I am looking for as far as game specs, such as like something that would tell me if my computer would be good? Would I be able to run these games on moderate or medium settings or do I need to upgrade for better game play? I do not know what would would control my game performance, so if you would please include that if I need to upgrade which part please!
Any help on how I would play these games at a good setting would help a lot! As well any any input you may have on how to improve my system to making it a better for my specific gaming experience.
Again one last sorry if I missed or was wrong on any information (as far as wording what I was looking for) please let me know if I am!
One last note could I also get a small intro or some kind of information what to look for in computer gaming? Like if there is a specific setting or something that the gaming community looks for when they game to make it better I think is what I am going for?
