    Absolutely, also, they use 110v and we use 220v so you would need to check the specs of the PSU to see if it can handle varible voltage.

    Jesus, avoid that like the plague! That's an incredibly low end machine, a 2nd hand €50 machine on Ebay would be faster.

    Just get a 2nd hand i5 based machine like Dell/HP/etc (around €100 on ebay) and upgrade the ram yourself to 16GB (about €70 2nd hand) - it'll be cheaper, and five times as fast as well.

    That's a very average machine dressed up with 16GB RAM and a nice fancy looking case. Very weak CPU in that, and integrated graphics. Avoid!!
