It'll play your MKV stuff fine. Its ability go play streamed media well will depend on the format of the media. You'll want to load nVidia's latest drivers and not rely on whatever your OS of choice loads for you.
Games? Yup... Space Invaders, Asteroids and all your favorite Mame roms should play just fine, as should things like The Sims. However this is no gaming machine so if you're looking for something to play BF3 you need to set your sights quite a bit higher and plan to spend a good chunk of this amount on a video card alone.
