Worked great right out of the box. Windows is a nice clean install with no bloat. Not a single problem or hiccup.  Great machine and a lot of computer for the money. I cant attest to the gaming abilities but I am sure the machine can handle anything a intel 4600 graphic chip can take. I am using this as a media center for my 1080 55" TV and it works great. No screen teears or anything else. I have it hard wired to my router and stream from my NAS box. No thruput issues or hesitation.I would definatly recommend this computer for for anything but hard gaming.I might just buy another one to use as a test machine for other OS's or suspicious programs.
