    Hoping to get some advice from you PC gurus.

    Looking at getting this desk top for the young fella (sorry can't post link):
    LENOVO

    Lenovo ThinkCentre E73 10AW ...

    ** PROMO SUPPORT MAX QTY 20 UNITS - 20/11/2014 - 21/11/2014 **Lenovo Thinkstation E73 SFF Intel Core i5-4460s (65W, 2.90GHz Turbo, 6MB Cache, 1600MHz), 1x4GB, 500GB/7200rpm, DVD+-RW DL, Intel integrated, Eth Giga, Card reader 9-in-1, WIN7 Pro 64 preload/ (10AW008PUK)

    I note it has an integrated Intel 4600 graphics card which isn;t going to set the world on fire but I just need to know if it will be able to run the likes of Farm Simulator 2015 at a reasonable level (from my miminal knowledge this isnt leading edge gaming)

    Minimum system requirements
    CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+
    RAM : 2 GB
    VGA : NVIDIA Geforce 7500 LE / AMD Radeon X1050
    DX : 9.0c
    OS : Windows XP 32-bit
    HDD : 2 GB
    Sound : Sound card compatible with DirectX 9.0c

    Recommended system requirements
    CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5800+
    RAM : 4 GB
    VGA : NVIDIA Geforce GTS 450 / AMD Radeon HD 6670
    DX : 9.0c
    OS : Windows 7 64-bit
    HDD : 2 GB
    Sound : Sound card compatible with DirectX 9.0c

    In time we can always add a dedicated graphics card.
    Any advice welcomed.
    TIA

    Yes that will be fine. As you say, a card can easily be added down the line. It's an SSF Pc so it would be a low profile card that is required. But Farming Simulator will run decently enough on current gen integrated graphics.
