Is this the best gaming computer offered on Amazon for under $1000?

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

I don't know if its the absolute best, but this one was recommended to me by other friends who used gaming PCs, and my experience with it so far has been great, most games run smooth at max settings. The only real downside to it is windows 8 being very annoying. I recommend, unless your a fan of that OS, getting windows 7 for this PC instead. Also keep in mind that this doesn't come with a monitor, you'll need to buy that separately.

I bought this a while ago and it is a great system. I haven't had any problems with it and it runs great. I was looking for the same price range and for what you get in this system it is a great deal.

Yes, this PC is better than your average store bought PC. This PC can perform very well for any situation except playing the newest games in max resolution.

Hi Mary! Yes, this would be a good choice . The computer screen is not too heavy and it's relatively fast if all you will be using it for is solitaire. Hope this helps!

You could easily build a gaming computer for this price with much better specs. Just look up "$500 gaming computer build" on google and some good stuff will pop up.

If you don't know the answer to this question I would purchase a gaming system instead... I bought not and it crashes all the time... I also had to fight warranty issues with Alienware because thy kept sending me broken comps... This computers are garbage sorry... I regret my purchase

Hi Barry: Sorry for the delay in responding to your question; We were away for a while just after New Years! The Lenovo 2117EKU is a great compact computer for the money and has excellent graphics and nice to show movies via the drive built into the back of the display, but I would say it's only borderline for online gaming! However, it has six USB ports, and at around $370 you get quite a lot for your money! Best Regards, Doug B.

I'm going to buy one in about 15 minutes myself. I've seen prices around $340-$350 elsewhere online, but Amazon seems to have the best deal at this time.So, good luck with yours. I hope I dont' get any of the buzzing (seems due to PS3, etc) or heat issues.This unit seems to be the sweet spot for us mid-range users with high expectations. This is my wife's Christmas present for me :=)Tony

In my opinion. It is not the best computer for gaming. All though it does work ok. My brother is a huge mine craft fan and he said that it was slightly slow. It still is good though. Alienware computers are expensive. But they are the best for gaming.

Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

I think from my use, this is the best for the price! I played Need For Speed Most Wanted on high graphics and max resolution with no issues. This computer is the ultimate PC for gaming. Also, the fact that it has Windows 7 is a big plus. If it has Windows 8, see if you can get one with Windows 7. As far as power for the games goes, it runs them as smooth as possible. I have done major video editing with high end programs that most stores do not carry computers for.Bottom line, to answer your question, this computer will run them great and last for at least 10 years. I bought it to be the permanent computer to last me 20 or 30 years. I think from my use, this is the best for the price!

I use this computer for my business. I am not a gamer and I am not familiar with the programs you mention. The computer is quite fast the way I use it and I am very pleased with it.

There was a bundle available earlier this year when I made the purchase. The motherboard, i7-2600 processor and 16GB of Corsair RAM with shipping was just over six hundred dollars. It runs great!!

Why not consider the People's Champ, the Asus 1000HE? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QTXL82?ie=UTF8&tag=epc1000he-20

faster than what? But as far as gaming it still is up to the task for 99% of the games out there in fact with a good board and graphic card it still is able to max out every game I own! I have about every new game out totaling about 150 steam games and 20 Origin not to mention a few just DVD based. But if you are just looking to build a new unit then go newer LGA1155 is much cheaper

This is a good computer though, i would recommend to play this for gaming because i7 lets you make and play smoother games such as. cod or black ops, and if intel hd 3000 has i7 core, you will max out settings. this is a i7 quad core processor

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!

Yeah it's from the website but it is not the most recent model available there.it is built specifically to play pc games. I use steam and origin to download a lot of games, you can get decent quality graphics without lag.
