Yea a very good pc and whenever you get the chance just update to a faster gpu due to a demanding monitor resolution which will pain you for upcoming titles.OoSuperMarioO

yeah i will, i know that my warranty comes with at home service and i asked gateway about upgrading things and they said they will come to my home and install everything for free which is nice
