Is this desktop worth picking up for some gaming?

[Evan_OS]

I've been on the fence about picking this up. This is nothing special, but I would like to get back to doing some gaming (WoW/Rift/SWTOR) and right now my laptop won't make the bill, only has a gig of ram and a slow proccesor so it's really only good for surfing the web. I'm not expecting this thing to run 60 fps on ultra or anything like that, but for some gaming, should I be able to run most games smoothly with a decent setting?

It looks good. I would plan on upgrading the 4gb to 8gb asap, the processor is decent (Quad Core 3.1ghtz) and the hard drive is a perfect size for me.

I know a lot of you guys are way more tech savi than I am, I'm good with the computers, but I really don't have a good grasp on how good this will run until I boot the game up. I know it'll run decent on the lower settings, but I was just wondering if some of you real good tech guys good give me a little more in depth view into how this will run if I were to pick this up.

Thanks a bunch!

That is just a regular standard PC that you could buy from Staples, Best Buy, Walmart. You will be able to play WOW and Rift on the lowest settings......

SWOTR nope......not even on the lowest.

That motherboard is going to prevent you from buying any of the newer cards. But hell that small case wouldn't be able to fit them anyway. And the power supply is way too weak.

That my friend is just a regular PC, meant for browsing the web and playing Facebook games.

Yeah, you should check the feedback. Nearly every reviewer remarks how that's not a gaming machine but just a standard office rig. If you're willing to spend about $150 more though you can build a really solid gaming machine. Tom's Hardware posts budget builds all the time.
