As this computer is considered to be old among gamers and computer enthusiasts, most people wouldn't even imagine it could be used for gaming. However, this almost 4 year old computer works perfectly well for gaming when paired with a dedicated graphics card. Almost immediately after receiving this product I installed a low profile Zotac GTX 1050, so I’m not familiar with how this machine functions without the graphics card. With the card this desktop crushes basic tasks such as internet browsing, watching videos, and word documents.I received these results when playing some games:Fortnite at 900p, medium settings: usually 80-110 FPS, with 55-80 FPS in combatMinecraft, version 1.8.9, no Optifine, max settings, default texture pack: solid 250 FPSTitanfall 1 at 900p, max settings without V-Sync: I don’t have Fraps installed, but it appears as displaying at 60+ FPSTitanfall 2 at 900p, high settings with V-Sync: Once again I don’t have Fraps installed, but thegame appears to be running at 60+ FPS.Altogether, this computer is an amazing deal. As a comparison, my custom build with an Intel Core i5-7500 and EVGA GTX 1050ti is faster, due to better specs.  However considering the custom build was $350 more, the price for performance of the HP was far superior.  Again, this computer is a absolute steal; I very highly recommend it.
