Hi, I'm kind of new to gaming and I was wondering if this is a good computer from Cyberpower.

I don't know if this is helpful:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.50 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology
FAN: Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Extreme Cooling Performance (Single Standard 120MM Fan)
HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG V3)
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P AMD 970 ATX w/ Ultra Durable 4 Classic, On/Off Charge, GbLAN, 2 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 2 PCI
POWERSUPPLY: 500 Watts - EVGA 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply [+16]
VIDEO: AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Single Card)

I'll probably try these games out:
Bioshock Infinite
Fallout New Vegas
Skyrim
Dayz

Thank You

You do whatever fits you best man. I did not know nearly as much as I do now when I got this pc almost 5 months back.
I would suggest if possible to get a better Graphics card though. I have a XFX R9 280, can run many games on medium - ultra 60fps 1080p.
I would recommend maybe a 270x, 280 or 280x if you plan on doing a bit more and keeping up with the high demanding games coming out. That all depends on your budget and how much Cyberpowerpc is charging for those.

I had gotten my PC built off of cyberpowerpc, besides installing OS on the wrong HDD everything was quite good from them. However Jeff Baffalo is right, for $700 you could build a better pc. However if you plan on pre-built, you will be spending more.

Although very happy with my pc, for the money spent on it, I could have built one 2x as better and more customized to my liking.
