Is this good for gaming?

I was wondering, is this setup good for gaming?

- Normal mouse+keyboard

- Windows Vista

- Dell Optiplex 755

- 256MB Graphics Card

- 4 GB RAM

- 2.33 GHz

I'd especially like to know if that graphics card would run games like Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Counter-strike, Garry's Mod, and World of Warcraft with good quality.

Thanks.

Update:

Here's an eBay link to the graphics card I want to buy

Update 2:

Also, my Mac has:

Chipset Model: GMA 950

Type: Display

Bus: Built-In

VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory

Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

Device ID: 0x27a2

Revision ID: 0x0003

Would that graphics card be about that or better? Because that setup is good enough for me.

    Probably not. You didn't list what processor and video card you have specifically, but the only vid cards with 256 vram are awful and not suited for gaming.
