how good is this pc and is it good for gaming

The Acer Aspire is a great little machine. I have purchased two different models, one for me and one for my wife. The first (mine) has the AMD A6, and the second (hers) has the AMD A4. There is a noticeable difference in performance between the two, and I would highly recommend the A6 over the A4. I don't use my machine for gaming, but I do use it for AutoCAD and Revit, which are engineering drafting programs that are memory hogs. I upgraded the RAM to a 10G stick and now have no issues with lag. I recommend this product.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

I can only tell you that I found this computer to be very slow. I don't know much about gaming, but I understand that games require "Fast" processors. I hope this helps.

I am speechless, it is the best thing I ever had, and its gaming is awesome, updated and on point

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

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

Oh yes, this processor is GREAT for gaming. I am playing all the latest games, with settings set to ULTRA, and having no issues. I also have a GTX780 video card. Games look stunning and play with high FPS. I am not overclocking the processor or the video card.

Yes I believe so. I use it for extreme gaming with no issues. You can also search the web for processor comparisons and performance. I chose this PC because it has good processor performance and price point. see: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

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

You're probably going to want something with a halfway decent graphics card for ant real gaming.For the other stuff should be fine for the money

It can play both of those games smoothly at their highest settings. It can play even more new and graphically intense games at high settings like Arma 3 for example. This computers specs will be able to play any game out right now and for the foreseeable future.

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.

Fans are great, I've played games for hours with no problem at all, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and Gpu

Although I got this motherboard a while ago, I still haven't finished assembly (the instructions are hard to follow). The motherboard can hold 4 RAM cards and one gpu and seems fairly organized. I have no idea about it's gaming capabilities but that is why I got it so I may be able to tell you soon!

its good enough to play up to date games with settings just below best graphics and perform without any lag. and you can always purchase a better graphics card in the future

It is fine for gaming with at least 8gb of memory I purchased this processor for my sister and it works well. I personally have an A6 Richland black edition 8gb ram Asrock Fm2A88X Extreme 4+, and I run World of tanks on High as well as other games. If you really love AMD, and have the cash to spend Skip the Kivarie, and go strait to Godavari 16gb of ram an MSI board, and an SSD as a gaming drive.
