I plan on running extensive games, such as run8, rsts14, and minecraft, will this work well enough with others and these?

My son plays minecraft he gets about 100 fps. Every game I have gotten him works. However the video card needs to be upgraded for performance and to do that I need a better power supply. Looking at 200 for video card and 80 for power supply. All in all this so far has been a good system for the money.

To the comment below the stock gpu on this does not even have a fan, it's not an hd series this gpu is not meant for extensive gaming...

It's really good and runs well with COD and Minecraft. Definitely what I was looking for. I would rate it 4.5 in gaming catagory

Yes it can. It has more than enough ram and processors to run those with background apps and other programs. I usually have League, Balttlefield, and The Sims 3 running at the same time with no lag

Yes, this can handle all games played at low settings, and some older games running at medium settings. If you are going to get this with the intent of playing games on it though there is something you should note: this computer will overheat. To get around that you will need to download AMD's Catalyst Drivers from here: (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download), then go into CPU power, and scale the sliders down to 75%. I would also invest in a cooling pad. The one I use is this one: (http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-Configurable-R9-NBC-8PCKA-GP/dp/B00BJ1COZI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce) -I use the two fan version, but otherwise yes, this can handle those games.

I've never run any games on my 2540p, which has an i5-560M, 8GB DRAM, and Intel graphics. However, if I had to guess, I'd say it might run Minecraft but not be a good choice to run it due to the lack of a sophisticated GPU.

It will run League with all the setting maxed out. Don't know about minecraft.

So far, it's ran everything that I've thrown at it on ultra settings. It should definitely be able to run those games on atleast high. Good luck!

This laptop has always run amazing for me on high graphical demanding games with lots of textures on at a time like Rome II, XCOM, etc. It should run minecraft easily!

Most likely. Check to see how much RAM is required for minecraft and wether or not this laptop meets those requirements.

It'll run Minecraft at MAXIMUM settings without lag. I'm not sure about other games, but I use X-Plane 10, a flight sim, and I get pretty good FPS when using it.

It handles many Steam games without issue (New Vegas, Portal 2, L4D2). I'm currently running Skyrim with mods at high setting (not highest, mind). Vanilla Minecraft runs really well, although I had unresolved operating issues with the Feed the Beast modpack.

You will have no problem running either of those. I am a web developer and graphic designer on top of being a gamer and I haven't had any issues running anything.

A graphics card like this would be extreme overkill for games like Minecraft, and it's really not designed for gaming applications. This card is generally meant for professionals in the 3D art and modeling world. And for users running highly mathematical GPU software like ANSYS. It would run Minecraft fine, but you would be better off getting two $300 cards and run them in SLI mode.

The I3-4130 has 4400 Graphics built into it and Minecraft indicates that it needs at least Intel GMA 950 to run, so this should work, though I am not sure how high you can run it at and I cannot claim to have run Minecraft on the built in graphics of this chip. I have a separate graphics card installed. One thing to keep in mind as long as you don't run into any driver issues with Linux is that the onboard graphics takes some of the system RAM and I am not sure if you'll be able to adjust the amount of memory dedicated to graphics. On a Windows system, I'd recommend at least 8 gigs to avoid problems. Linux might be able to run and share memory with less, I don't know offhand. Good luck with this.

Can't say for sure.. We had to return ours. Within hours, 1/3 keys did not work and it froze over and over. It was a mess needless to say. So I didn't have long enough to use.. I believe it is powerful enough to run just about any games available. Good luck..

Yes, it will work without a problem. I usually go in www.systemrequirementslab.com to check if my machine can run certain games. I recommend it to check if yours can! Hope it helps

that is what I have and it works beautifully. Just remember the system requirements for this including i7, big graphics card, etc.

7 ultimate x64 should be just fine. Make sure its updated to Power Pack 3 (on the server). I have zero problems.
