    Well, i dont think you will be able to play the games for the next 2 years with the quality up too much, but i dunno what the next line of games will consist of. As far as being able to handle todays games i would say that you would probably be able to run most games, but you may have some trouble with Doom3 because it uses a lot of system resources. The amount of shading that is needed for doom, takes a lot from the GPU.

    as far as todays games yes it most certainly will be able to play them.
    as far as two years from now probably but not with as high of resolution or settings but thats two years from now.
