Question 1

What type of games can this run? Is it good for steam stuff and Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

This handles minecraft quite well and most mods. I haven't run into an issue yet but I haven't tried all of the heavy duty high end shaders. I mostly play indie games and borderlands. Haven't had any issues playing any of those games on max settings. And there's plenty of room for upgrading down the road. If you're looking for a half decent gaming PC I can vouch for all games that you could expect to run on say an xbox360 or a PS3. When you get into the new current gen games you may experience some issues.

Question 2

Does this PC have an HMDI output for a monitor?

Accepted Answer

Charles,

Yes this system has 1x HDMI port. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Question 3

is this computer worth buying cause im looking at buying one like this but a bit cheaper just trying to find out if its specs are good and it comes with everything i see in the pic thanks?

Accepted Answer

I don't use it for gaming, but it's well worth the price.  With the SSD it boots up in less than 15 seconds.  My own two requirements were an SSD for my program files and a separate data drive, as well as a video card and this was the only desktop I could find that had both for a reasonable price.

Question 4

Where do you connect the keyboard and mouse on this desktop??? Do you put it on the front and top of the desktop or on the back where the hdmi and vga cables are?

Accepted Answer

We connected the keyboard and mouse behind by the other ports.  HERE IS A CRITICAL WIFI TIP***:  the wireless usb dongle (currently located inside the box; small white with blue flashing light) was performing very poorly.  We removed it from inside and put it in one of the USB ports outside the box on top, and it works great.

Question 5

Is anyone having issues with the wireless adapter that comes with this pc? I just got mine and i've been having random latency spikes. So i'm not sure if it's my internet provider or the adapter isn't good enough?

Accepted Answer

No issues here! The wireless connected right up when I first turned on the computer and has been working flawlessly since. You can see if it is your internet provider by directly connectioning to your router and see if you're having the same issue. Good luck!

Question 6

Is this able to run stuff like Minecraft and most steam games smoothly?

Accepted Answer

I have yet to run into an issue playing any game on it, Minecraft, steam games, Guild Wars 2 are all games I've played on it at full graphics settings. The only thing to be wary of is that the hard drive is split into 2 drives and you'll want to manually set all games to install to the D Drive to keep your C drive from filling up.

Question 7

Is this desktop compatible with the Acer S220HQL Abd 21.5-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor?? I am having trouble with connecting the VGA cable to the monitor and I need help.

Accepted Answer

I have it connected by hdmi to my monitor , looked up your monitor noticed it has no Hdmi connection ..saw that The VGA connection is called D-sub on your monitor..connect your cable to the VGA on back of ipower tower and the other end to the D-sub (VGA) connection of your monitor...Hopes this helps

Question 8

what kind of RAM do I need?  I see it has 8gb ram and one slot, so should I get another 8gb to max it out?

Accepted Answer

Jonathan, Yes if you what to add RAM an 8 gig stick of ram would be the way to go. The paper work that came with your pc should give the exact type of ram used for your PC. Your new ram doesn't have to be exactly the same but matching whats already there is always best.

Question 9

Has anyone used this PC to play Dragon Age: Inquisition?  i don't need something that plays on Ultra (I'd spend way more $$) but I want to make sure it will run decently.  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Sorry, can't help with that but thought I'd let ppl know that we bought this for our son to play Minecraft on and it is PERFECT! Our laptops would crash playing that game but all good with this one.

Question 10

Where are the front USB ports and audio port? Are they on the top?

Accepted Answer

They are on the top left side, right in the front by the power button. There's two USB 3.0 ports a headphone jack and a microphone jack.
