What's wrong with your other systems? I know that CIV V will run fine, especially with that much ram and an SSD, maybe even on max. I remember trying to play that game on garbage hardware ... and it would run on that, and I'm talking like half of the performance according to synthetic benchmarks, and half of the ram, or less, on a HDD. My friend did the same. Starcraft 2 used to run ok with settings cranked down on garbage hardware as well, but I think that changed significantly as expansions released. Maybe if you shut off all of the beautiful gore effects, etc? That integrated GPU is your weakest link. It benchmarks just a tiny bit higher than an ancient Nvidia 9800gt, which could barely ... kind of ... run Crysis when it came out. And even then, you're talking shared system memory with the GPU, which is probably going to be lower bandwidth ... so yeah.
