What's your opinion on these specs?
I'm usually playing Silent Hunter III, Doom 3, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Red Orchestra and I just got Silent Hunter IV: Wolves of the Pacific...

Gonna need a video card. Overall I don't think it's bad for the money, and should run all those just fine provided you have a decent video card. Might want to stick more RAM in it as well.

My video card is a Nvidia Geforce 8300 GS 128 MB |
You will definitely want a new vid card. The nvidia -300 series is good for watching DVDs, definitely not gaming. You may be able to play those games, but it will not be a pleasant experience without a decent card. Figure out what kind of slot your vid card is. I am guessing it is PCI Express, but make sure before you buy anything. Also make sure your power supply is capable of handling any vid card you throw at it. I'm guessing you have a 300-400 watt power supply or so. Here's a recent article about choosing a mid range vid card:

Yes, it's a PCI-Express, I think I have around 350 watt power supply.
