Dunno about max but you should be able to play with modest to decent settings, at least.

Your system (minus the monitor and unstated peripherals as well as shipping and any labor), works out to about $500ish e-tail, so your price is about right.

The first thing that I'd probably swap out is your PSU. From what I can see it is likely Broadway's Okia model which isn't too impressive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ription=Okia+ATX+550W+Power+Supply+&x=16&y=31

The next major upgrade, short of building a new system, would probably be to your graphics card, but that is likely unjustified at this point. Otherwise, perhaps a dedicated sound card if you have some decent speakers/headset.

also it came to be $622 with the wireless key/mouse, optical drive and the computer case which by them selves r $80

Hence my saying that the price paid is about right...

Decent price, but I think too CPU centered, it would have been better with a 4770, 4850, or 4870 and a dual or triple core, but yes it is good.
Yes the powersupply is unreliable.

Aye.. Graphics card may be a little underpowered in my opinion also.
