Check out this website, if the game you are interested in is in their list of games to check, you can have the site analyze your computer to compare how your computer specs match up against the recommended and minimum game requirement.

But in all reality, 9300GE should be upgraded to at least 9500GT graphics card. 9300GE is not good at all for gaming.

Good enough for most games on market now.

but of course, if you're going to play some game closer to what crysis is like, your graphics card won't be able to handle it appreciably. Maybe you can play crysis but graphics are going to be terrible.

Is that onboard video? Try getting a better gpu.  Onboard video on that computer is like a i7 with 512mb of ram

I play those games often with a much less powerful computer.  I do not think you will have any problem at all running those games well.  You may not be able to have all the video settings all the way.

The limiting factor would be the graphics card if you want to turn them up a bit. Frame rates i think would not be a problem but graphics quality might be somewhat.
