I believe this is a great computer for the price. But honestly if you want it for gaming you want to go intel, it may be a little more but Intel will last you much longer if you treat it right. I like the graphics card but try to find an nvidia one because they are really good for gaming. Also 500gb will not suffice when you are gonna put a lot of games. And the RAM.... meh 4gb is fine but 8gb is the recommended amount. Its really good, but a lot of the money is going into looks and it looks incredible. But if you give me some time and if you have some time to build your own computer I can put together a really good one. What is your budget on a computer and is the monitor, keyboard, and mouse included in that budget?
