I'm looking to buy a PC good for gaming, but not a system that can run Battlefield 4 on ultra settings, Around $500-600 range. I have seen one, the Gateway DX. It is a desktop with an Intel i5 4430 processor, and the graphics are Intel graphics built into the processor. 8GB RAM. If you want to see more of what it has in it, here is the link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dx-series-desktop-8gb-memor... I'm trying to look for a computer that can run CS:GO, (Counter Strike: Global Offensive) on High settings. with a stable 100+ FPS and also Garry's Mod with 100+ FPS also. And I believe this is decent one to do so.
(P.S: If i posted this in the wrong section I don't really know where cause I'm new :/ )

Well.... There a couple answers you might not be happy with. Pre built computers aren't all that great, integrated graphics is even worse. Don't expect much out of the computer you have linked. You could build a much better one, as long as you have some of the parts (OS, keyboard, mouse, monitor). I can't give you the minimum that you would need for 100 FPS on those games, maybe some one else can better answer that one, but with integrated intel graphics, you're looking at playable framerates (20 - 40) on lower resolutions, IF THAT. It's not that the processor is bad, it's that the graphics subsystem is terrible for gaming. Add to that a fairly cheap PSU and you have a computer that you need to replace parts just to upgrade other parts.
