Would this be a decent sytem for gaming?

Not sure. Probably yes, but most likely decent means different things to me than it does to you. It seems to me that better options are available for gaming at this price point. I'm not a gamer, only a guess. YMMV

I used to have and HP i3 4GB RAM 500GB HD 7200rpm , great old computer, this new DELL system is not much faster, even running simple application like office (many programs/windows instances running together like MS Word, PPT, Execel) and outlook, and many windows of chrome. It runs slow. And it is defective, the screen blinks and has problems. It never happened to the old HP. It also reboots with no reason, several times in just three months. I would not recommend. Also, the case-plastic looks cheap ,

It is good for gaming coupled with good RAM and GPU. I've had mine since 2011. Overclocked to 4.0Ghz with an EVGA FTW3 mother board. It has some limitations, but for the price it's at now, it's a great budget pick. I've seen some on ebay for around $60-$90. Hope this helps!

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.

I have not tried, but I would not recommend it for gaming. I played some older games on it, and they had some lag ...

Yes!! It will not be good for heavy gaming but for the casual gamer and everyday day computing the integrated graphics works very well and gives a better WEI than most lower end graphics cards. I love the way my graphics work and it is the Intel HD 2500!!

I do not do "gaming" and have little experience of it. Have a feeling though that if I did and wanted to be serious about it, I'd get something with more "horsepower". Good Luck! Hope it helps.

Yes, this is good for gaming. This is the "Black Edition" so the cpu/gpu can be overclocked. Just don't use the stock cooler that comes with it for overclocking. You can Hybrid Crossfire this APU with certain radeon cards like the 7750. I've played The Witcher in full hd so far and it can do Dead Rising 3 with few adjustments compared to my NVidia card.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Not as it stands, you would need to add a decent graphics card for gaming and a more powerful PSU but it has upgradability for this with a PCI express 2.0 port on the motherboard

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C; Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

That depends on the game. I have been playing LoL and its not bad, but my expectations were low to begin with. I feel its not bad for the price so if its all you can afford you will be satisfied with what it can handle gaming wise.

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.

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