Hello Bonus4x, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

As far as I can tell, there’s no graphics card in that computer. It’s got what’s called an IGPU, where the CPU does the graphics calculations. It’s much weaker than a dedicated graphics card. The form factor of that computer is also such that it would probably be impossible to add a graphics card later. Otherwise the specifications are okay but no graphics card is seriously going to hamper how well it games or renders videos. I wouldn’t recommend it.
It’s a nice pc, but not really a gaming one.
I would go lower with the CPU and give him a GPU to dabble with.
