The Total War games won't stress that computer. I've been playing Napoleon Total War a lot recently on an i5 based laptop with no issues.

Black Ops will also more than comfortably play on that as would any current Battlefield game.

We do know that the estimated recommended specs for Battlefield 3, due in October (ther trailers show some excellent graphics) are quite high but even that only needs a quadcored CPU and direct-x graphics. I really can't see any issue with the PC specs you have chosen, but if you want to ramp anything up then go for graphics rather than the CPU as it will be that whcih can determine the quality of what you see on your screen, and if that is a big one at high resolution that is where your demands will be.
