"This PC would be great for gaming, it will play older games exceptionally well and will handle current games, I have used it to play MOBA games and CounterStrike, as well as my library of older steam games. If you find it lacking in performance, it would be simple to replace the graphics card with a newer model if you play newer games at high settings."
