Is this computer bad or good? By good I mean can it run minecraft on high/max settings or gta v on okay settings. Basically can it run normal games on high/max settings. Also is its Internet speed pretty good? Here's the link!http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16883258020

Minecraft will be fine, but anything else will struggle. You can build a much more powerful build that will run any game @1080p with 60+FPS for that amount of cash. Here you go:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($59.98 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($61.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card ($159.99 @ Newegg)...
Well, a couple things. First off, GTA V is not out on PC yet. Also, internet speed isn't determined by the computer, it's determined by how much you are paying your internet service provider for. And, as previously mentioned, dead link.

Would it be worth upgrading the 8gbs of ram to 16gbs?also would it be worth upgrading the amd procceser to a core i5?i heard core i5 was way better than amd, but I could be wrong. The pc will mostly be for gaming, but it I might use it for school projects
 
It all honestly depends on the budget. For your needs, you won't see any benefit to having more than 8GB of RAM. If you have the budget to go for an i5, go for it. The reason I chose the FX 6300 is because it will work so well with the 7870, and the total cost was pretty close to the cost of your original build.

Lol your such a newbie, so much irrelevant information on the specs list haha. I remember when I was like that though. Not everybody get's into the hardware side of PC gaming either though.
