Heres my setup: 24"iMac, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2gb memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory

The games I want to play are Mass Effect, Spore, Left 4 Dead, Warhammer Online, and StarCraft 2. I would also like to get some opinions on Mass Effect 2 and 3. Will the sequels be similar to the original in terms of requirements?

Be happy, as someone who owns a similarly tricked out mac pro, ican confirm that you should be able to run mass effect, spore and starcraft 2 on high, but probably not at your monitor's best resolution. Warhammer is an online game, so it cant be too taxing, and left 4 dead uses a very compatible engine, you should have smooth sailing in all of these games!

You should be set for at least a year and a half. As sequels usually use the same graphics engine, Mass effect 2 will likely also work for you.
