Would this type of computer be able to run games like Battlefield and Cod after upgrading the power supply and i5 processor?

Well any computer can run anything if you upgrade it enough. So basically with those upgrades you're simply asking if the stock NVIDIA GPU that it comes with can handle it, and I'd say probably yes. But it may be more economical to find a tower that has a better CPU and power supply and invest in a top of the line graphics card for it.

It was stated by consumer reports that this is not a good gaming computer as also does not have appropriate video card.

an I3 can run high quality games, this will have no problem. just get yourself a good graphics card compatible with the motherboard Bios

Yes. Check Nvidia web site and check system spec. but higher power supply wouldn't hurt if you are planning to upgrade again.

yes it can. I have an i7-3770k in this motherboard right now as my primary gaming system and it's very fast!

Yes, but you will also need to upgrade the Power supply unit as well. Right now I'm running an ATI Radeon 7850 with a 620W power Supply with no issue.

I have no experience with these games myself but as long as you have it paired with a powerful enough CPU and fast RAM, it should do fine. Tom's Hardware benchmarked it playing BF3 at 1920x1080 with an average of 40.6 FPS (minimum was 36.0). That was with a Sandy bridge i7-3960X and some 1600MHz memory. I have a Haswell i5 right now and 1866Mhz memory. So far my system has been able to handle everything I throw at it. This card has been a great buy. Lots of performance and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend it.

Yes it will. It has more than enough power to handle that CPU as well as most power hungry gpu's as well as long as you use a single graphics card you should be fine. More than one and I would start actually counting up how many Watts your system eats and go from there

I tried it with COD: Modern Warfare, and Battlestations Midway. It ran those older games just fine.

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

Yes! With no problem. You can even play BF4 on Ultra setting(granted that you have a good GFX card to go with it). Also, those games are not CPU intensive, so you will be fine on the CPU side. On a side note, I'm also playing Watch_Dogs, which is a CPU intensive game, and is running at medium settings with no problem what so ever. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is very easy to upgrade everything, I just changed video card and power supply very easy.

No. The processor is pretty good, but you would have to upgrade the video card. Preferably, you would have a GeForce GTX 650 with 2 GB.

I'm not really sure about the processor but I upgraded my graphics card to a nividia 650 ti and its way better then what comes in it the downside to the card is u will have to get a new power supply as well bc the current one dose not have another 6 pin connector nor enough power but if u do get this pc and have the money I would upgrade the power and gpu it was totally worth it for me

You can at medium settings, but it would be beat to upgrade the video card to at least a GTX 650 TI. You'll be able to run just about everything that's out right now at max settings. You should even be able to run Battlefield 4 at medium to medium high settings.

Depends on what processor you are planning on running (look up the specs for how much power the processor you plan on putting in it takes). I'd say you probably need to upgrade your power supply to be honest but you might can squeak by.

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price

No the CPU and GPU are already built into the motherboard and cannot be replaced, all it needs is ram memory and a hard drive, as far as I remember you can't upgrade the processor
