After a 5-year hiatus from gaming on a PC, I'm looking at getting a small form box that will serve as both a gaming machine and a general family PC for word processing and the odd bit of graphic design on Illustrator.
Specifically, I have been out of the loop for so long that I've no real idea where graphics cards have got to. I've got a lot of catching up to do and I'm most interested in playing games like Skyrim, Dawn of War 2, Portal 2, Diablo III, Total War etc. I may be interested in having a go on Eldar Scrolls online at some point in the future (or the new WH40k MMO!)
I haven't built a PC for years, so thought it would be safer to go for an OC spec build. How well would the following spec play the above games? Would you recommend a higher spec graphics card? Speakers and peripherals etc. are already owned.
