Can this handle modern gaming?

[Dakumi]

I'm getting this computer from the cyberpower Columbus Day sale, wondering if it's put together with parts that will play nice. This is the second computer I'm buying, and the first computer I'm buying knowing 'anything' about the parts. I've got a somewhat measly 1300-1450 budget and if I can drop something for a price change with little change to power. I plan on doing heavy gaming (From skyrim to minecraft) and working within Photoshop/Illustrator. I'm curious if it can handle (at the time of this post) modernish games and last a while.

Also note, I know the i5 is about as good as the i7 and have shopped around to find that if I were to get about the same specs on a i5 computer, I'd have to pay shipping, which would bring the price back up.

I'm worried about this, since my last computer was a Lenovo with a card reader built into the front that was right where my hands put pressure, making it think it had a card at random. I kinda want some help this time.

1300-1450 is a fairly large budget for a PC now.

That rig will handle modern games acceptably well, but if you system is going to primarily be a gaming machine, i strongly recommend a much better video solution.

will give you a build recommendation in a few min...
