Hello,
I intend to use this primarily for work, but would like to do some gaming on it if possible. Would this be able to play CS:GO, Fortnite, Overwatch, or COD?

It most likely be able too, but not as well as something you could build.
most users who come here are already aware of the advantages of building their own.
I think to be more helpful you could provide a pcpartpicker build that matches their budget, or matches the performance of the PC they linked.
otherwise these types of comments lose effectiveness and go against the spirit of the subreddit.
when someone asks where is a good place for an oil change, it's not helpful to say "do it yourself, it's cheaper"
My bad, I will take this into consideration.
this should be ok, but I really like this one for an extra 100

Funny... I was just looking at this one in another tab. Do you think this will be able to handle most modern games at medium/high?
at 1080p, yes absolutely
It will run 95% of all games made the past 5 years at ultra
on some very recent and demanding titles you might need to bump down to medium to maintain 60fps at 1080p
it's a good GPU and can easily be swapped out for something better later on
the only con of this machine is the slow-ish RAM, which restricts the CPU a bit. Not an urgent issue, but maybe later down the road you could swap it out for some 3200mhz RAM
Good to know! Some of the reviews mentioned the RAM being an issue, but I could look into upgrading that down the line if needed.
I appreciate the helpful response!
