    honestly, u shouldn't have any problems, playin any games for a long time. there might be a few ( very few) games that u won't be able to play at max settings. but u could easily play with yur settings to work out a compromise that fits u.

    Red Allert 3?
    I`m playing it on 1920x1200,max details, 4xAA, VSync on and it`s super smooth :D
    SC I haven`t played it, but you should be ok...
    As for other games, you`re set for at least another year at max details :)
