So this PC is $550.00 from Newegg. Free shipping, no tax. Please don't say I can build it for cheaper, because I haven't built a PC in 10 years and I just want to buy one all set up. So based on the stats below could anyone respond to the4 questions below?

1. Do you think this is a good/decent value?

2. Do you think this PC could handle most games of today (CoD4? )

3. Do you think this PC would handle Diablo III?

4. If the answear is no to questions 2 or 3, with a Video Card updat in a year or so could it?

I get what you are saying but I'm worried about it being outdated too fast.

TBH, that system is already outdated by today's standards. That 9500GT basically = 8600GT in performance (an old card), and that quad if not overclocked will bottleneck any of the newer graphics cards.

Upgrade the GPU and you should be fine. That 420W will be iffy, but I am sure you could find something that would work in that spec.

id move on up to an HD4650/4670 the preformance would be ALOT better. futhermore you wouldnt need to get more than a basic 500 watt (really my first one was about $25)

Basically whenever you buy a prebuilt there are going to be things that you don't like, for example that graphics card is weak and won't survive for very long and so is that power supply.

no this computer would not be worth it to me, the video card and power supply are weak, you would be better off going with a xbox360 or PS3 right now just for games, but I perfer PC games by far so I don't like saying this.

buy a good cpu cooler. overclock the cpu a good deal if possible. then update psu and gpu. your system is set, and the next upgrade will be cpu.
