Great Mid Level Gaming PC

The only reason you would ever need more than this computer has to offer is if you do heavy video and sound editing. I don't do those much, but it still pulls it off without a glitch. I just can't multi task much when my video editor is open. None of the over 200 games in my Steam library even come close to challenging this computer.
The only game I could get to lag on this computer is minecraft on max chunk loads. Which is honestly more than you reasonably need to make the game look amazing. I still run it on medium-high with an HD resource pack and every other setting on high without the game lagging at all. It can actually host a server and run minecraft on similar settings without lagging. On top of that, the graphics card comes with built in software that auto-records whenever I am playing a video game. It's an Ideal way to capture footage for uploading to youtube etc.
The biggest con to this computer is the power supply. Many people reviewing this pc said they replaced the power supply upon receiving it. It's a really annoying part to have a choke point because you don't have any noticeable differences in performance. Even with the power supply being dangerously close to it's max, it runs just fine the way it comes. I have had this computer for 8 months and have yet to have any problem.
One thing I would recommend is doing the in store pick up. I read many reviews of how people had major problems getting this computer shipped to them broken when they ordered it directly from the company or another vendor. Honestly, I compared prices for quite a while and Best buy had the cheapest price and were the only ones I trusted to make sure it worked when it came in without having to pay to ship a brand new computer that was dead on delivery. I'm glad I did, because I didn't end up having a single problem and the people at best buy were super helpful.

Wireless Adapter?
I'm thinking of getting this computer but where i live all we have is wifi so i was wondering if a usb wireless adapter would work on this computer?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Most usb wireless adapters work just fine. I personally put in a PCI wireless g card I had sitting around. I still hard wire it whenever I can though.

Does this PC come with the cords to connect to a monitor? If not, what cords would be needed?
It doesn't come with chords to connect your monitor. It' depends on what you are using as a monitor but an HDMI chord would be the most ideal because it can run sound to your tv/monitor. However, there are options for DVI and VGA if you don't have a HDMI compatible monitor or if you want to dual screen.

Is this a good PC for playing cs:go, and battlefield 4? Also does it connect to wifi or do I need a wireless adaptor?
The Tower is considerably bigger than the motherboard. It's vented really well but the board doesn't have many options to expand and it doesn't have built in wireless. It was to crowded to put a pci express wireless card in. But I was able to get a decent PCI wireless card that works just fine.

Can it record minecraft at 1080p 60 fps?
It depends on how high you have your other video settings, but the graphics card automatically records any video game you play and I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. I play minecraft with medium chunk loads, every other setting on high, with AMD Gaming Evolved recording in the background and while running a server in the background with up to nine other players without noticing any gameplay difference.
