Yes. These are almost the exact specs of the custom-built PC picked out by my friend. It should be able to run most games with no problem, but don’t expect Crysis on max settings or anything.
It’s decent. You won’t be able to max your games, but should be able to play them at medium settings with no slow down. I would look at upgrading the RAM and Graphics card. Both of those could stand the improvement, but are half-way decent already.
Shop around a bit more. That doesn’t seem like much of a computer for 850 bucks.
The processor is capable, but old, and if you’re going for gaming, try to squeeze in 6 – 8 GB of RAM
I recommend you experience the fun of building your own computer.
Good luck.
No, the CPU and video card are both pretty low-end.It can handle some mild gaming, but I wouldn’t expect it to perform well on CoD and Fallout
its a OK computer that will play the games you are looking at but is not worth what your paying for it closer to $500 – $600
