I didn’t rate for gaming as I don’t play games.  This is replacing an older celeron 2.8 ghz 8gb ram  this thing is running circles around it. LOVE IT!  The equipment is dated but still works. Sad is running at 6gb an the had is at 3gb. It came with 4 sticks of 2gb ram. I was hoping four 2 4gb so I didn’t have to buy four new 4gb ones. Plan to work on replacing parts here an there as I find bargains.I have also now added in a bunch to this system, USB 3.0, 16GB Ram, 250 Crucial SSD, replace hdd with new one and have bought spare parts  a replacement power supply and a cooling fan for future use.  checked it on UserBenchmark.com and was really pleased  added new photo of new power supply connector with extra black wire. It sends fan speed info (got this from the Support Forum at HP.Com)
