1. With the GeForce 6150SE, not even close for L4D and GTA4. If it's Halo 1, it should work, Halo 2 may have performance issues. 2. I don't know. Check the recommended requirements for those games. A quick Google Search will help you. 3. As I don't own an Xbox 360, that is something I don't know.

your RAM is good, but you're going to have lag with your graphics card, out of the games you listed GTA4 is the most graphic intensive game on there... also GTA4 requires a better processor to run Minimum: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4GHz you have: AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.3 GHz, you're going to need to upgrade your processor to run GTA 4 minimum video card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900+ / 256MB ATI X1900+ although personally, I would go with a better graphics card since I'm really picky about the way my games look, your processor however should be fine for running L4D and halo, you definately need a video card upgrade, and I'm also assuming you get graphical lag on maplestory with that graphics card because there are known problems with it. Personally, if you want to be able to play all those games with good graphics, I would suggest getting either an ATI Radeon 5770($160 roughly), or an Nvidia GTX($220 roughly) prices depend on the brand of course. also, didn't notice the wireless 360 thing, you can buy a device on amazon, I forget the name but I've looked at it, I didn't bother with buying the device because I think it's like $50 so I just bought a wired xbox controller, which, IMO, is better than paying $50 for a wireless adapter and then having to go through batteries/recharge them all the time

He doesn't HAVE TO upgrade his CPU, but it's recommended. People on youtube pair the GTX 260 with a 2.1ghz outdated dual core AMD :S. Any reason why basilers love the 5770 so much? I recommend the 4870. Better deal for $105.

5770 is on a smaller process and supports newer APIs 1) No 2) Whatever works with your system/budget 3) You can buy a bluetooth receiver for $20

I wouldn't go about recommending anything just yet without knowing the size of his case as well as the specs of his PSU.
