CPU is good and 12GB of RAM is good but I don't know the RAM speed to tell. Needs a better Video Card if you want to play games on higher settings (or even more recent games).

But hey you live close to me

Don't you dare steal my potential computer , ya the video card looks like about 2 years old?

The ram speed is 12,800 mb/s

No about 5 I think. Its a shitty OEM card but I found the specs and everything is mid-high tier if your OK with OEM parts. Throw a better GPU like a GTX 750Ti or better and you can play games better. Or you can get a RX480 or GTX 1060 and play anything from ultra-high setting. Main thing is that CPU is good but your RAM is locked down to DDR3-1600 speeds which is basic but you have 12GB to work with

I don't know why HP bottlenecks their PC's so much. I'd say go for it because you probably cant build one as good like that at that price. Maybe see it you can drop it to $400?

Great PC for emulation BTW

The cpu itself already costs $400 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116987
