Son and daughter plays world of warcraft and minecraft on them and have no problems with it. Son played modern warfare 3 and had no problems. Oldest change her video card because she's a geek and wanted a better card...:) you should have no problems and later on if you want to change the video card its easy to do.

Minecraft would have no problem, I don't play Battlefield 3, or the Arma series. But I would guess that Battlefield 3 could probably run well on medium settings and arma 2 the same. Arma 3 would probably be more trouble though since its just come out. I know I can play batman arkham asylum at high settings fine. But if you were to get this computer and wanted to play arma 3 or battlefield 4, I would recommend getting a new psu, as the one that comes with it is only 300 or 400w. And a new graphics card. You can get the new nVidia 760 right now for about 240.

Minecraft, Battlefield 3, and arma 3 run smoothly arma 2 has issues on some servers though.

The Radeon HD6670 will handle mostly any games out there at medium setting very easily. Plus there is always room for upgrade in the future. Hope it helps

Unless you know how to instal a graphics card I wouldn't recommend it. You may get by with WOW or minecraft at low settings but not games like call of duty unless you modify it.

It can run Battlefield 3 on low/med settings. It's quite a good card for the price and what I bought for my first ever build (still got a soft spot for this card). It runs almost at the same spec as some real massive cards and doesn't suck any power or space. Good card!

it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

I wouldn't recommend it. It's 2 generations old. If you really want to play intensive games (crysis, BF4, far cry, ARMA, etc.), a good desktop could be built for the price of this laptop.

You'll want a better graphics chip for gaming. It could probably run, but not terribly well.

This will run TF2 and Minecraft at those frame rates. For BF4 on low presets, you will get about 51-54 fps.

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

It can play Skyrim on ULTRA settings, Left 4 Dead 2, quite a few others. No issues with gaming.

Hi Jose, this computer can RUN Arma 3 without any problems. 50+ is attainable but will depend on your game settings.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

I find battlefield 3 unplayable so battlefield 4 would be way out of the question. I had to replace the graphics card and processor to something more powerful. The next gen games are too strenuous on systems like this.

Yes, it will play it at high settings reasonably (averaging over 30 FPS), but will not play well at the max/ultra settings.

The specs on this computer exceeds BF3's recommended settings and it will handle that particular game. You might have to put some game settings on medium or low though for a better/smoother in game experience.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

It actually can. I have been running games that are more harsh on the Graphics like arma 3 and dayz and still get about 60-40 fps.

Haha. I'm not sure, since I don't play Arma 3. I have played Bioshock, Counter-Strike Source, Counter-Strike: GO, and Skyrim on this computer with no problems. It seems to be pretty powerful, even if the video card isn't top of the line. The 8 gb of RAM is great for games and photo editing. Other so-called gaming computers at this price point were offering really wimpy video cards, so I think this is a good bargain.
