I'm not really into gaming, but I work almost exclusively with video and related software. Will this "Gamer PC" work as a regular performance PC?

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.

It works great for me as a regular computer. The only games I play are on Facebook...is Farm ville and such...video and related software works fabulous on it.
296194
Yes. That said you may still consider upgrading video card and power supply.

I have been using this computer as a work computer without any problems at all. The one thing I would suggest is getting a 550 watt power supply and changing it out as soon as your get the system. I have found lots of people have had problems with the incredibly wimpy one that comes with it.

Hi.I use COREL Daraw x6 with the computer I got like this one. When I start getting heavy into graphic processing, it gets bogged down a little. If you as a little more ram it will do fine. It won't be the best thing out there but it serves my business great. There is nothing the program offers that I can't do, I just have to wait two or three minutes sometimes.

Shouldn't have a problem. I am running this card in a system with a Pentium D dual core. So I would think you should get way better results than me. I run mine as a media server to my TV. Works great, streams over the HDMI beautifully. I really like the card for what I use it for. The only issue is that you will need space large enough for it, no mini cases or anything like that, and it needs good air movement. In my HP system that required me to drill holes in the side so it could draw fresh air. Then again mine is ancient, so you probably have a more modern case with more than 1 fan. If you want this card for extreme gaming... Well you would probably have something more than an i5 system. It will probably do decent for light gaming, I just wouldn't expect too much out of it. Hope that helps.

Correct. It is an entry level video card and power requirements are moderate.

Yes - you may need to update the hardware drivers for video, sound, etc ... but it will run fine on this machine.

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup. It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

It does (HD2500) and it handles normal video tasks just fine. However, if you want gaming capability, you will need a separate GPU.

Don't buy it for gaming. It is an enterprise server. CPU and Memory configuration is not optimized for gaming. Plus it won't take gaming video cards at all. And the server is fairly loud. So unless you are setting up a gaming server, this is not a product for you.

It depends on your needs. Home business, office work, school, or just for fun? It's a powerful computer, and for average use works very well!! If you want something that also games well, you will need to have a better video card installed. Otherwise for the money you can't beat this computer! :)

It is basically a regular computer. However, it is low power and some things like video may not be near as good as a regular desktop

That is really going to depend on the rest of your rig's specs. What are you running now? I.e. CPU, ram, os....

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

This is just a quad-core AMD CPU. No video processor is built into it. You'll need a separate video card.

Depends on the amount of ram you dedicate to video. Light gaming no problem.

If you have dedicated graphic card yes, if not then no. It can play basic non-intensive 3D games like TF2 or KSP.

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.
1266420
not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

Not a gamer, but it works great for one of my Office Computers. I would recommend buying a 2GB video card. I purchased a Radeon HD 5450 for $100 for my Dell GX755. Make sure you get the motherboard Make and Model # so you can find a 2GB Video card that fits a GX620
