Is the hp pavilion 500-223w with default setup good for starter gaming? I want to play stuff like minecraft, battlefield, or cod. And is the 2.6 ghz it has okay?
Depends on how much money you have you can upgrade this PC, like Caz suggested maybe a 750TI, i'd say also get a cheap SSD and install OS on it.
Here's a video on YouTube of guy playing Battlefield 4 on 750TI, i just glanced at the video, looks like he gets 30-40 FPS on ultra so you should be good to go all for $200
No unfortunately 🙁
By looking at your specs you don't even have a graphics card.
You should be able to play Minesweeper though
But on the serious note you might need to upgrade your graphics card to a GTX 750 ti for a good start.
My old HP used to have a GTX 645 and that played a lot of games but just not the latest. Infact it could only really play small games thats why I have a custom now
