With a good amount of RAM and a good graphics card, will this run a simple game like Minecraft at a reasonably-high framerate?

Yes, this chip is fast enough to meet the recommended requirements for minecraft.

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.

No problem, CPU has enough, but high quality game needs a good graphics card.

This is a basic bare bones server. While yes, it could likely play games like minecraft well, you would need to add components like a hard drive, operating system, and possibly a CD drive to get any use out of it. Unless you know how to build a computer/server its best you stear clear and stick with a complete system.

I would say yes. You don't require a lot of processing power to play Minecraft.

The graphics are the onboard Intel HD Graphics 3000 which has 1.67GB of dedicated memory. Running Minecraft is rough with that, and because it's integrated into the mobo, it isn't upgradeable. I still highly recommend this machine as a former engineering major during college. Great machine with the i7 and 8GB of RAM, but weak graphics.

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine. Recommended Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

Reply with _____________________ Basic Answer - 50 - 60 Frames per Second. On the specific settings listed below, it works best. Minecraft 1.8 ------------------------------------------------------ Video Settings Graphics - Fancy Smooth Lighting - Maximum Render Distance - 12 Chunks Max Framerate - 120 Frames Average FPS = 59 - 60 Also, Yes it does work right out of the box, This computer was up and running on the first day.

My son plays minecraft he gets about 100 fps. Every game I have gotten him works. However the video card needs to be upgraded for performance and to do that I need a better power supply. Looking at 200 for video card and 80 for power supply. All in all this so far has been a good system for the money.

If you have at least 4 gig of Ram, and that processor should provide you ample power to run this. I run this on a Quad AMD processor with 4 Gigs and it did decently well. That game play is excellent. For me, it was as decent a scenario FPS as I have seen with some fairly decent realism.

I used to run minecraft on it, but I had to set the distance to short and the textures to flat instead of fancy. So yeah, but it's not going to be the best experience.

I don't have Minecraft to test, but I was able to play Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo 3 at low/medium settings with an acceptable framerate.

I honestly do not know. I've not attempted to play any video games on the system. It's a fairly decent machine, so I would suspect it would play it fine. Minecraft graphics don't seem that demanding, but I'm no expert.

Yes, especially considering the graphics card. Runs great with no problems.

YES! i have 12 gigs of ram now, thinking of upgrading again to 16. Also should be able to run modern games. Has no problem running minecraft!

Yes, it should run just fine. I am running it on a PC with a dual core approximately 2 GHz AMD processor , Windows VISTA SP2, 4 gigs of RAM and a much less powerful video board than yours.
