Would you buy this? I'm looking to use it for Minecraft, steam games and recording (possibly), would it run well? FPS with rec / not with rec

No. Save yourself a lot of aggravation. You can build a better gaming computer for what you'll end up paying for this.

You could easily build a gaming computer for this price with much better specs. Just look up "$500 gaming computer build" on google and some good stuff will pop up.

No, I wouldn't buy this. You can EASILY build a MUCH better gaming rig for less than this. I know it for a fact, I've built 7 gaming rigs, only ONE of them exceeded this in price, and ALL of them have better components than this does.

The computer does well for Second Life, which is a very demanding game. I have for overca year bow and have been very pleased. it is a real workhorse.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

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 use it for Lord of the Rings Online, Civ 5 and a whole host of other games. I don't really do FPS so can't answer there, but it seems the answer would be yes.

Hey, I have had mine for about a week and it's the best PC I have ever owned... I stream at 60fps and play high graphic intensive games in 4k resolution. Oh did I also mention it's so quiet I do t even here it and it's on my desk behind my monitors about 3 ft from my head:) def worth the buy !!!

Hi.sorry.I do not play computer games. Video quality wise I can say that sometimes it "hangs" on hd YouTube videos,sometimes it's ok.I'm not if it's video or network card problem. Overall I would say it's 4/5 device for the price.

Yeah it runs LoL fine, especially w/ a good graphics card, I wouldn't be running 20 programs at once while trying to play LoL, honestly ive had this for about 6 months but instead you should think about the FX8350, Im about to get it as well. its more money but its a investment and literally like 4x better than this

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

Yes, its still worth it, its still I awesome piece of hardware. I personally dont really use the game streaming feature a lot, but I love the attention it gets me in public. People are always like wow what are you playing on.

I don't use it for gaming but, it does maintain a constant streaming of video without any interruptions. Its speed remains constant at the 300Mbps on the 5gz band. I would think it would work reasonably well for gaming.

I honestly do not know. I've not attempted to play any video games on the system. It's a fairly decent machine, so I would suspect it would play it fine. Minecraft graphics don't seem that demanding, but I'm no expert.

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

The onboard video will be fine for Minecraft, just make sure you have enough ram to share with it.

I use it for gaming. It's a great MB, even has some special features like the scout audio. OC is a breeze also.
