Would not use this machine for gaming unless you are going to go buy a Video card for it. But I was able to give it to my Daughter so she could do work from home that is web based and it works just fine for that. I would recommend though getting an inexpensive video card for it though. When I had questions about the computer the tech support and customer service was prompt in their response and answered every question that I had.Will recommend this computer for those just doing light office work or web browsing. HD video though will be slightly choppy
