    it will not be at high settings for these games, and I would make sure you have an extended warranty so if the GPU dies your covered.

    honeslty i would recommned something with a GTX 460/470/480 GPU with a MXM slot - they are designed more for the serious gamer. and there are several brands that offer such options.
