You could probably just copy and paste the names into google to find the same ones.
Also, I am getting this Pc to play Starcraft 2. My friend, who got a much lower grade pc than me, is able to run it on high. With my particular graphics card and setup, I should easily be able to play on a very high setting. As for FPSs, such as Black Ops, I am not sure what graphics setting it would be on but I would expect it to at least be able to play high.
