Ye it will, you don't have to worry.

Computer__GUY · Jan 2, 2014

The graphics card is very, very low-end. Not really designed for gaming. The processor is also quite low-end but I suppose for playing games like Minecraft and Gary's mod it will do. Overall, I wouldn't recommend that you buy this build. Build your own or look for something with a better GPU and CPU.

Slightly better, should max. out Minecraft although still very expensive for what it is. You could build these for a fraction of the price.

Could you throw me one together with every thing being sold from amazon prime?

This will easily get you over 60 FPS on Minecraft.

What settings will higher demanding games run at? like older cod games?

Computer__GUY · Jan 2, 2014

You should be able to run more graphically intense games on low/ medium settings at a smooth frame rate. If you are looking for something that runs them a bit better, go for an AMD A10-5800k as oppose to an A8. It's only about $40 more expensive as well.

Thanks once again! One last thing can i use a 32in 720p tv as the monitor via hdmi?

Unfortunately not as this build makes use of an APU which is a graphics card and processor in one. This means that there is no HDMI port unless you buy a better motherboard which does support HDMI. Although what you can do is connect it up to your TV using a VGA cable. This will work pretty much the same as a HDMI cable.

More expensive but it has a good video card inside which can easily get 60+ fps on minecraft. If you want it a little cheaper then get a HD 7750 instead of a 7770.

hockeynutt199 · Jan 3, 2014

Can i not just add the video card to the setup u already gave me?

Yes but that would eliminate the performance of the A8-5600k built-in graphics.

hockeynutt199 · Jan 3, 2014
