Is this desktop good for gaming? Games like COD, battlefield, etc.

No idea as I don't pplay any games. However, it definitely should be upgraded to 8gb of memory before trying.

It is not suitable for gaming in my opinion, it can't run battlefield 3 on the lowest settings without lag

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP

Our son has it but he's currently playing the beta of battlefield 4. Says it looks great and runs well. It rocks so far.Hope this is some help.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

I am sorry to tell you this but this laptop is certainly not for gaming. If you want to play games like Call of Duty Ghosts etc, you are going to have to pay at least triple the cost of this laptop. with a 1.86 GHz processor, you are getting netbook-like performance. (not good for gaming). If you want a laptop that can play Call of Duty Ghosts, I would recommend this one: ASUS ROG G750JW 17-Inch Gaming Laptop [OLD VERSION]

It's only a fair gaming machine. While the processor is powerful, it's slow by today's standards. I think you would be frustrated with the games your are looking at.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's 2 generations old. If you really want to play intensive games (crysis, BF4, far cry, ARMA, etc.), a good desktop could be built for the price of this laptop.

Many games require more processing power, especially graphics, than a typical PC offers. For that reason I would not recommend this computer except for basic gaming. I bought this computer for internet browsing, basic picture editing and productivity applications, and the touchscreen. It's great value and design in that regard.

This has a good deal of memory and reasonable processor speed. It also has a great resolution with an excellent screen.Unless you are a hardcore gamer, it should be fine.

I would not use it for gaming. A more powerful CPU with a more powerful graphics card is required for gaming. It is, however, excellent for day-to-day computing needs.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

As long as the games aren't very graphics intensive. I just received this as a holiday gift, and am hunting down options for a video card upgrade. While a casual gamer by most accounts, the games with pretty graphics still struggle a bit with this rig. Hope that helps!

I just bought this PC and a nvidia 660 to play FSX.It seems good,not a top of the line gaming computer,but you will still be happy with it

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

Unless you know how to instal a graphics card I wouldn't recommend it. You may get by with WOW or minecraft at low settings but not games like call of duty unless you modify it.
