A:Answer Overall, I've been very satisfied with the computer for gaming purposes. If you plan on overclocking and increasing its performance, you may wish to consider enhancing its cooling capabilities since the system (air-cooled) seems to run on the hot side when pushing its limits. I chose to install the Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240R RGB 120mm Processor Liquid Cooling System, with great results! It was a very easy installation, replacing the two existing air-cooled fans forward in the case, no drilling, no case alterations whatsoever.
Obviously, when running multiple "background tasks" in conjunction with one of the more recent, and more resource demanding games, the overall system performance will obviously be impacted, but this will be true with ANY computer, regardless of its cost or performance level.
