Those games are perfect for a Mac! You can play them natively on a Mac! Don't need to bootcamps an MS Windows OS. Any Models of the Mac can play those games. The better the model is, the experiences are much better. The best model is always the best experience. There's a Quad Core iMac Model but I think that's too much for you, but If you want it, why not. All New Macs models including the iMac has great processors and graphic performance and high quality. All brand new models of iMacs are built with Intel Core i3. ATI Radeon for graphics. All iMacs models are already equipped with a 4gb of RAMS and can upgrade to 8GB, some up to 16GB of RAMS.

Hi ankush.. Mac is a good computer It is fast and reliable and you dont worry much about virus. But if you plan to play a lot of games (online or offline), I suggest you go for a Intel quad core processor. most games does not utilize a quad core processor, but it will make your computer future proof. and most games runs better on windows. Happy mylotting

It all depends on the use you'll give to the computer. Mac is by far much better OS than Windows, it's stable, almost inmune to viruses and once properly installed can run for years without reinstalling. The bad side with Mac is that it has many compatibility problems, from hardware to software, and there is plenty of programs for Windows and relatively little for Mac.
Mac is good as a server OS with a variety of server oriented applications, or as a workstations for programing or designing task. It can of course do a lot more things, but manufacturers seem to be orienting it that way. Most games are designed for Windows so if that will be the main use for your computer I'll suffer the instability and go with Windows for a more compatible system.

There are two factors should be considered :
1. What is your purpose? if it is for gaming, Windows is better because it has great compatibility to your games software.
2. Documentation/availability of additional software, sometimes when we install our games, they will ask for another software should be installed first. Windows has many resources in internet that can be downloaded freely and easily.

Who told you mac is better? Mac is better for animation and other creative purposes. For gaming and all other purposes windows rule. I think windows will be more suitable for you.

If you want a user friendly OS u should go on MAC but take note that MAC computers has proprietorship. MAC OSX has it's own technical support and there's no one that can help you resolve any MAC issues but their own tech support. Now, with Windows u have to make sure that u choose the correct version for the applications that you will be installing on the computer.
