Yes it would be able to play those games, however you will NOT be able to play them on max settings.

Not to bad for 450. But i would upgrade the graphics card to a Geforce 660 then it would be pretty good

Good enough price for a prebuild computer with decent specs. I'd really upgrade the GPU to a 7770 or better if you're going to be playing those kind of games.

you should really think about upgrading the GPU on that computer so you can all the good with no lag

Such a horrible build and the money for it is ridiculous, if I was you I'd build my own... It isn't hard at all...

I wouldn't say its worth it imo down to the specs you just gave. The processor is outdated and motherboard not overclockable so it won't keep up with the newer ones. Mismatched ram modules can cause system instability, and the graphics card won't be able to run Skyrim, but maybe the others.

Another hundred or two you'd be able to build yourself a half decent rig.
