You should be able to play pretty much anything with these specs. However, the Sempron CPU is surprisingly behind the times and mismatched to the RAM and GPU. So you'll definitely have some slowdown in more than a few games I'm afraid.
It really depends on how much a given game stresses the GPU vs. the CPU.

Drives in both systems:
C: - Windows 7 + apps. Pagefile is fixed size and located at the very end of the partition.
D: - various temp files/cache for Firefox and apps/games.
E: - videos, music, misc. storage, torrent downloads, etc.
You are lucky. It is an AM2 socket. There are many pretty good CPUs for around $50 that would fit - e.g. an AMD 5xxx+. Just check on the Wattage because the Sempron draws only 45 Watts. But the board may be able to do better.

I love how AMD keep sockets alive for such a long time!
With intel it seems to be a new socket per CPU family.
With amd you can have a 2-3 year old pc and still drop in a new CPU. Well apart from bulldozer lol.
