I am looking for a great starter gaming computer for my daughter. Will this work well for World of Warcraft or Wizard 101?

Not a gamer, but it works great for one of my Office Computers. I would recommend buying a 2GB video card. I purchased a Radeon HD 5450 for $100 for my Dell GX755. Make sure you get the motherboard Make and Model # so you can find a 2GB Video card that fits a GX620

I would say no laptop is good for gaming. Those that are good enough for playing anything new, or with any degree of quality would be too bulky or too pricy to afford. That being said if you aren't planning on playing the latest triple A games (Call of Duty, Titan fall, etc.) the laptop is fine for playing games. Though it will run hot since it has an integrated GPU. I got Diablo 3 running, but I need to play it on a table with a cooling pad, and with medium graphics settings.

I'm not exactly a gamer, but I bought this several months ago as I wanted an "almost" desktop equiv. My kiddo recently download Minecraft (paid version) onto it, and it performs and handles the game 100% better than our old desktop. Quick, fluid, no freezing, crisp and clear, handles multiple screens open while Minecraft is playing. I have not been disappointed. I have some downloaded work applications and programs that have worked without issue. I am considering another for the kid. Good luck.

No problem running Orcs Must Die 2, Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition and Warcraft III on Win7. My only gripe with the system is a hardware option to turn off the mouse pad. The mouse pad layout does get in the way with wasd games. In FPS games, if the character randomly shoots or strays to the left then an adjustment in posture remedies the issue.

Sorry I cannot help you. My son is my computer wizard and told me what to purchase.

Well, I guess I'm going to disappoint you. I'm retired and I don't play games. It starts up in about 30 sec, it runs pretty fast and I can do everything I need from skating the net to processing pictures with Photo shop to making spreadsheets and writing letters. I haven't tried is using AutoCADD on it yet.(I don't do that much with it anymore). The only thing that I haven't figured out yet is Win 8. I think I'd like to have my XP back or maybe Win 7. I surely can't complain about the computer though.

Well, this laptop is years old. In it's day, I played games on it like Warcraft III... not World of Warcraft, before World of Warcraft existed. If you want games, HP Elitebook Workstation, Toshiba Qosmio, Origin PC, and Alienware would be the places to go for a great gaming laptop. Macs can play games, with the caveat that the graphic card selection always rests with the pcs, and no mac laptop ever has a workstation graphics card for 3d rendering and some fun.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

Hi. Really, this is a good computer. Yes, is decent for gaming purpose but....only for gaming?, I use my g7 for scientific and engineering purposes, because this is a powerful system. The games inside this one, specially mah jong, are very nice. Mah jong has a relaxant sounds, so you put on earphones and enjoy the sounds while you are playing. pavilion g7-2220us is a decent laptop not only for gaming, but other purposes. Buy it and enjoy!

Howdy, just got my MSI GX630-001US a few days ago to play World of Warcraft and Sims3. Before purchasing, I checked out the processor/video card on some benchmark sites. I was cautiously optimistic. I ordered, knowing Amazon has a terrific return policy.The 9600M GT is fantastic! I can run all the games I play on the highest settings without issue. A few small tweaks to the video card settings is all it took to make the Sims3 prettier than it looks on my desktop system. Buy with confidence. This machine is an amazing system for the money!

my friend plays LoL on the highest settings possible, i also have an extra 4 gb's of RAM, but it can definitely play Lol on high. I dont have WoW so i can't say if it can handle it or not. This laptop can also play battlefield 3 on medium and Star Wars the Old Republic on low settings.

It works ok for one of our grandsons. I really do not know what "basic" games are; this is a real PC and works great for applications like Office, Visio, web browsing etc.

Sorry, but I bought the computer for my daughter to finish her masters. We don't use it for games and do not know the requirements.

I do not think that this comes with Microsoft Office, and it does not have a backlit keyboard. As for World of Warcraft, I'd recommend going to their website and looking for a minimum hardware requirement to determine whether or not this laptop will handle it adequately. My guess however, is not. This laptop works well for office use, and music/movie/tv use, but it is not built for gaming.

WoW can run on almost any PC. This computer in particular should be able to run it with no problem at all. I'm considering the purchase myself.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry
