Is this a good computer for gaming?
I'm building a new computer for $700 and I mainly use computers for gaming. I will not be playing games like crusis on ultra settings or anything like that, just minecraft, skyrim, and some other games; so it doesn't need to be that powerful. But is this computer good for gaming?
