    I wouldn't buy that if I were you...

    It's made of cheap parts, not good enough for games. :p

    Not everything max settings, you could probably get away with MC max settings and other low graphic games

    It would take about $1200 to make a computer that could run things at max settings.

    what makes a good gaming pc is the gpu. this case can never support a good gpu. due to it being a half sized case. i would recommend building one from scratch. its easy to do and you cant mess it up if you be careful when building. pm me on the forums and i can help you out. ive built over 20 computers. and each one handles its own ingame and on the web.

    Oh u should raid 0 instead of getting one single HDD. Get 2 WD caviar blacks, or better yet get 2 SSD's and stripe those instead. things will load faster!, once u go double D's u dont go back lol!.

    i dont have a skype, but i would be glad to draw up a parts list for you.. do you have a budget? if so let me know. also the computer might be good. but the gpu specs arent specified and that case is absolutely massive. if you have a limited space to place your computer in that is definitely not for you..
