Answer 1

You'll be able to play it fairly smoothly unless you have a huge monitor and need to run extreme resolutions.

The bottleneck is going to be that GPU, but if you only run at 1280x1024 it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Any higher than that and your FPS will decrease exponentially.

Answer 2

the pc itself is very nice and should play any game you throw at it . although i would defiantly advise upgrading the graphics to either a ATi Radeon HD 3870 or one of the nvidia 88x series or 96x series
