It'll run those games pretty well. If I were to select a weak point in that rig, it would have to be the video card though, but it won't be much of an issue unless you want to max out games at a high resolution.

It wont max GTAIV but it will play with pretty high settings. The other 3 games will max no problem. HD 4850 being the weakest link, still a great card though.

The video card leaves much to be desired :P. Oh try not to go with a pre-built

Borderlands - maxed L4D2 - maxed and beyond Modern Warfare 2 - see above GTA 4 - a b**** to run, but nonetheless, since its a 1GB 4850 that'll help you with the texture quality. Should be generally ok. As other people have said, compared to the rest of the system, the video card is the weak link, but saying that, 4850 is a really good card. Maybe you should expect to upgrade it sometime in the next year to year and a half.

A 1GB 4850 leaves much to be desired? I guess if you're gaming at an extreme resolution, but for most people it's more than enough.

Man why do people always skimp on the graphics card! You'll do fine with GTA:IV though. Even people with good machines have a problem running GTA..me excluded though, I ran it fine with everything nearly maxed out.

Graphics Card clearly got skimped in that step-up in comparision to everything else, it will run them though. Overall the HD 4850 is a great card and performs very well given the resolution isn't insane.

That PC would be beast if it had a GTX260 or Radeon HD5770 inside of it instead of a HD 4850. I am going to assume this is a pre-built?

4850 is fine. No good games atm that would justify more horsepower. If a console port fails to perform well on a well-equipped PC system, it should just fall back.
