Don't game, it was for the wife and the grandkids. Had to replace the wife's old computer after it was hit by lightening, bought it because it was cheap and it shut her up and as expected she never been on it.

Depends. If your looking at as is only simple games will run. If you go. With this PC, make sure you get a good graphics card and maybe upgrade the memory. To play the newer games, it will be a must to upgrade the graphics card. Hope this helps.

The os is windows xp pro . So u have to get games compatible With IT. The hardware specs are decent. This is desgined more for work pc than gaming. But could be a simple low cost gaming sys. Dont expect IT to be a xbox or ps though

I would not know, I only use this computer to help my children with home work and personal work but not for gaming. It is a pretty fast computer and I have not had any problems playing games from face book.

This one will pretty much play any game out there on the highest settings as long as you have a modern processor and probably 8gb memory. In my opinion, if you're on a budget to where ~$100 matters, yes, this would be a better buy for now.

This PC will do all that well and the price is usually good. I found mine on Amazon about $500 dollars.

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

Recent high-end games may have minimum requirements that surpass this machine, which you can check on the game's site or info. The old Starcraft would probably be fine on it though. And you can look for one with a lot of RAM in it since that can be different each time.

Yes. The only thing that WOULD NOT work well on this computer is extreme gaming. Like using tons of Video memory and CPU power. Dealing with Office XP or Office 2003- should work great.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

It has an i5 processor,probably an i7 processor would be better for gaming. Also, it come with 6 GB memory, but the memory is can be easily upgraded via the back panel. For my needs, it is a perfect PC for me, love the huge screen!

My son bought this computer specifically for gaming. The graphics card is excellent. He loves it.

I would count on it to run CS:GO so so but BF and COD is doubtful, especially BF. I bought this for my girl that just likes to surf the net and do Facebook stuff. I wouldn't spend the money on this for gaming. You would need something beefier with better cpu and graphics. I have a PC I built specifically for gaming so I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about this topic.

It's more than enough for games, but the GPU is more important in this case. I have the i5-4670 + GTX 770 and it plays almost all games at maximum graphics settings at 1920x1080

I would not recommend you to buy this computer to play online games for the main purpose. Graphic card is slow.

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).

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think this computer is too slow and clunky for gaming. It's a great computer for other things, such as spreadsheets and office work, and fine for photo work.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

It is a good starter CPU and as long as you play either older or less intensive games, it will do just fine until you need to upgrade. Alternatively, I have heard good things from Intel Processors, so it may be useful to look into some of those at the price ranges you are looking for.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.
