They work very well in my opinion, I played the Crysis all the way through and it sounded great

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

I play World of Warcraft, Diablo III, and Defiance. Not at their highest resolution or frame rate, but entirely adequate. For other games, you should check the system requirements. This is by no means a dedicated gaming system, but for the price it is okay.

Yes i'm not sure what calibre of games you intend on playing but I was able to play Far Cry 3 and EVE online on high fairly comfortably. Also yes for the 1 tb hard drive and 8gb ram just if i could make a statement you may want to invest in a better cooler system because my fan at least got very loud when playing said games which is very distracting if your trying to get immersed in the game.

I'm not a gamer so I couldn't say. Sorry. I think another review commented about upgrading the memory to use it for gaming.

As long as the games aren't very graphics intensive. I just received this as a holiday gift, and am hunting down options for a video card upgrade. While a casual gamer by most accounts, the games with pretty graphics still struggle a bit with this rig. Hope that helps!

I play all games seamlessly with the pc I built which included this item. I believe, but I could be wrong here, games such as league really rely more on your internet connection than your computer, to a point obviously. While games such as battlefield four, skyrim, and other graphicly intense games may rely more on the build itself. Just my opinion.

yes its good for gaming, the k indicates that it can be overclocked, also it allows for pci express 3.0 connections for your graphics cardsMost motherboards work well with it, I've personally used two asus x79 boards and can recommend both, the sabertooth x79 and rampage 4 extreme

Sorry, I don't play any games. So, I just don't know. I am more involved with photography, music or videos. I've always thought for games people should have a bigger and faster computer.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I can't answer from that point of view. I got this laptop for heavy duty computation, including CAD, software/simulation development, and photo/audio/video processing. The in-unit cooling is very effective and surprisingly quiet. Like you, I had initially considered a laptop cooler, but decided to wait. IMHO, it's not necessary. Maybe I'll use the money I saved to get some games!

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

To be honest, I'm not a gaming person, so I probably wouldn't be the best source. I know that for my needs it was a great value for the price. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I bought this for a friend in the real estate business and she seems very happy with it.As for gaming, I'm not a gamer, for simple games I'm sure it is ok, but for hard core gamers, then you would definitely need something more powerful.

It really depends on how big of an audiophile you are. I'm not too big but I enjoy these. There could be more bass but I think they're with it still. If you're playing multiplayer and want that competitive edge, don't look here. Single player however, I think these work fine. If you ant that edge, I'd go for an gaming headset, probably gonna cost you over $150 at least for surround sound and not one of those "Amplified Stereo Sound" ones. These are pretty functional, simple, and easy to use.
