Is this a good gaming computer?

Hello! I am thinking about getting a gaming computer, one more on the cheaper side though. Is this a good gaming computer? I am looking for around 80FPS in minecraft, and for the computer to be able to run smoothly with other tabs/games open. Thanks so much.

no no no, nowhere near any good.

It's best to tell us your budget OP. Only then could we help you find a good enough pc. Mines not able to hit 80 fps for Minecraft, so I'm not even going to post specs.

Computers like that can run Minecraft pretty good, actually.
Here are my specs for my computer and I get around 150fps with Optifine:
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
OS: Dual boot. Primary OS is Mac OS X Yosemite while my second OS is Windows 7 installed using BootCamp
Processor: 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed
RAM: 3 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
In Yosemite I get around 70-100FPS but when I use Windows 7 I get 150 usually.
It's a Aluminum MacBook btw.

I don't believe you.
Those are the benchmark scores of OP's GPU, your GPU, and the GPU in my ultrabook. I put my laptop's IGP in the mix because I know for a fact that even at my laptop's measly 1366x768 resolution, it struggles to push out 90 FPS most of the time, despite having a portion of 16 gigs of dual-channel memory at its disposal. Because of this knowledge, I can safely assume that your laptop (with a 1280x800 screen) cannot possibly push out 150 FPS in Minecraft, unless you have the settings on the bare minimum.

My settings are actually pretty good.
I got smooth lighting on minimum and my render distance is 10.
Also, most of the animations are turned on.
I made this video w/out screen recording software because that would slow it down:

Wat. I'd honestly like to know how you managed that. That's pretty incredible for hardware that old.

Now I honestly don't know
I really don't know much about computers, but I saw this guy auctioning this 2008 old MacBook and I liked the aluminum look and didn't have enough money to buy a new Pro so I won a bid and got it for 160$
All I really did was using bootcamp installed Windows 7, installed OptiFine, and tweaked the settings to be just in the middle and got this working at around 100fps. I did upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 3GB which really doesn't do anything but when I put my 4GB RAM stick in it doesn't take it. Original hardware including the 160GB HDD.
I also got a 2005 HP Compaq desktop with 512MB of RAM with a Intel Celeron D chip to run around 40-50FPS. It's still pretty laggy but it says it is getting 50fps.
It's funny how people can say Mac's are bad when they really are pretty decent

This is not a good gaming computer.
Just to give you an idea, my computer specs are
CPU: i7 4790 OC 4.3+ GHz
Memory: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz (4GBx2)
Storage: 2TB HDD, 128GB SSD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti (TWIN FROZR MSI GAMING 750Ti F 2GB-GDDR5 OC)
Operating System:Previously had Windows 7 and 8. Currently Running Windows 10
This computer can run vanilla minecraft 1.8.8 with no resource/texture packs at about 300 fps

With that PC.
You shouldn't be giving advice
About PCs
Unless it's for like, 3D modeling or video rendering
But OP, what's your budget?

me1001From what i know, the graphics and memory aren't all too good.
Or the CPU, or the harddrive, and the PSU is probably bad too.

You definitely won't get 80fps with this. Sorry.

How much do you have to spend?
Do not buy that computer. I've used the slightly-better HD 2400 Pro, and it's not much better than Intel GMA 4500 (motherboard graphics from like 2007).
