The Diablo Series is a great game, good news is that it can run on almost any computer.

You can get all of the Diablo games in the Battlechest, which is $70 at the most.

That depends on what sort of games you're into. The Command & Conquer series will run on that PC, as well as FEAR, Half Life 2, Far Cry... what kind of graphics card do you have? My current PC is an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ with 2GB of PC2-5600 RAM, and I am able to play Command & Conquer 3 on medium settings using a Sapphire RADEON X1950PRO 512MB. Of course, the X1950 is the best card open to me on AGP, but if you have PCI-E (like most people!) you'll have far more options, including the extremely good for price/performance ratio nVidia 8800GT - which is as cheap as $120 in some places! That should play most modern games, including Crysis(!) (albeit on low to medium settings). That's the best thing about PC games - you can always customise the settings and run them on most PCs, unless they're ridiculous (like DOOM3 and Crysis were on release!)

Your pc is fine as far as the cpu and ram are concerned. If it has a half-decent graphics card you will be able to play anything you like. What graphics card have you got?

My computer has got less than half that :) and it just runs counter-strike, maybe try that. Otherwise Deus Ex is great, also all of the Warcrafts, Red Alert 1 and 2, Fallout 2, Icewind Dale, NeverWinter Nights 1 and 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, the Dooms, Unreal Tournaments. Half Life though a bit outdated graphics wise is still brillant. TF2 might run. Hope I've helped

We need to know what games you've already got, what genres you want to restrict the potential buying list to and how powerful your Graphics Card is.

Morrowind, Deus Ex, Max Payne 1 & 2, Beyond Good and Evil and Psychonauts. The last 2 may need a graphics card to run well.

I'd recommend Nexuiz, it a free and open-source first person shooter a lot like Unreal Tournament. If you added a videocard to that rig, you could probably run just about anything you want.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3, timeless.

Max Payne 1 & 2, excellent games.

Half Life 2, can't rate this game high enough it needs to be played to be believed.

Sims 2, addictive and fun.

Doom 3.

What genre of games are you into, what have you played and liked?

You left out the most important spec : What graphics card do you have?
