The only question, will the onboard GPU be powerful enough. To my dismay, there's no option on ebay to search by graphic capabilities.

Nor is it a habit for sellers to list on or off board graphic capabilities. Sent a ton of inquiries out asking for the GPU specs.

Getting answers such as: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE SPECS ARE or

The graphics are integrated on
the motherbard, and there is no separate graphics card.

Regardless of whether it's integrated on the motherboard or not, it still has a specific capability. Maybe I'm wrong for wanting to know?

Out of nearly 15 or so inquiries, I only received 3 replies.

Micro Center

Not sure if that helps, but the place is real close to my office, and I have bought a number of things there and the prices seem good.

My one son in law is an IT guy in NJ and he knows them and likes them, second to New Egg. And I know from experience that

they take things back in exchange well.

Anyway, that may not help but there you are!

Thank you love, that helps a lot. Completely slipped my mind to check Micro Center. Already shopped New Egg. <3
