Your English is horrible. Also, please use the shift key.
To answer your questions, it plays games OKAY. It isn't spectacular. It will NOT be able to run recent games in 2-3 years, the iMac has an onboard graphics card, which CANNOT BE UPGRADED. I would suggest getting a used powermac instead. That way you can upgrade the graphics card, cpu, ram, hard drive, and add PCI cards.

I'd say it runs current games well. Games in 3 years will probably still run, but only barely.
As said, the graphics board isn't upgradeable. I don't agree that you should get a used Powermac, though - it's not at all certain that anyone will keep making graphics boards for them in 3 years, and without that future expandability it's not a very good buy. The iMac will also let you run Windows for the games not yet ported to the Mac and switch back to the Mac for everything else.
New Macs are always coming. I've given up trying to predict when, but it does look like a refresh is about to happen rather soon.
