Could this computer run CSGO and other FPS titles well?

    Hi lanL, welcome to CHF. The link you posted to newegg doesn't work. Try again please.
    OK, third time it worked.

    I am not a gamer, but I would look for a system with a stronger graphics card. The one that's in the machine is a mid level, value card.
    Have a look on this site:

    Hi Ian.
    I wouldn't even consider the PC you linked to .
    This PC I linked to has far better hardware for not many more $$$$

    That game isn't very demanding at all, but I would definitely not spend money on a system with a processor that will be a super major bottleneck (FX 4300) down the road, when you upgrade.Here is a Cyberpower for a little more that has an I5 6500, which is about as fast as a 4690k and a far better "base" for any gamer to start on.

    Read the comments on this link and all very Positive.

    It comes with a NV GT 720, which is slightly slower than a R7 240, but you will get much better overall FPS just because it's on a system using an I5 Skylake. I would be thinking about upgrading the power supply to a quality 600W in time.
    Hope this helps in your decision making.:)

    Thank you so much for answering my question, I had my goal computer at 700$, but if you think that can do it, I will gladly take that over a 700$ computer (money I just don't have) thanks!
