   Does it have an SSD, if not acquire one.
   
   Also make sure you have 8 Gigs of RAM. Not a huge advantage to going over that, but you will notice a difference between 8 and 4.
   
   Don't think you can put a big graphics card into a small form factor machine like that, or that the CPU would handle a big one. You should get a graphics card tho. I have a 5450 spare if you'd like that. It's not really for games though.

   It has 8gb stock.
   It is upgradeable to 16gb.
   Just not sure if the investment in some ram and maybe a real graphics card would even be worth it as I wouldn't be buying the newest shit anyways.
   
   But that was in the past anyways...
   I moved and now I have to pay bills and fix up my apartment.
   
   And omg my mom is driving to my place to eat pizza and see it.
   I'm nervous.
   I'm also feeling pretty good.
