I use this PC shared on my home network to do all sorts of hobby projects. It should be very game compatible (never tried it; I'm a tech problem solver and puzzle person; not interested in games). My "very useful hobby PC" allows me to experiment with SW & Apps, evaluate new Apps and new features on existing Apps without fear of losing my ability to keep up with routine daily tasks like email and long term secure Apps related to Taxes, banks, insurance, etc. Wish I had found this earlier.
