how is this pc for gaming?

Solution
Horrible power supply. I wouldn't trust it to run a toaster, much less a gaming pc. Also, that case is out of stock. Biostar has failed to make quality boards, as of late. The PC, CPU and GPU wise, would do fine at 720p on high settings, and low to medium @ 1080p, depending on the title. This is a little more, but worth it. Buying a junk PSU is just asking for trouble.
