[ethr95awd]

@AndreReis96 the computer was for my in-laws, not me, they do not play computer games

@xAweeZx add a Graphics Card (GPU), a power supply with a higher wattage, and 4 gigs of RAM. Also check your graphics card length, make sure it will fit. Otherwise yes, it's pretty much ready to rock n roll.

I would install 4 gigs of ram minimum
