  • Number 3 to 6 will run it fine but should be upgraded to Windows 10. Number 7 will run it but needs a standalone graphics card to really shine.

    Yes, upgrading to win10 will be easy. It is just a matter of buying the upgrade and install it.

    Number 5 seems best though it is refurbished the seller notes that it just got a new Graphics card.

  • If I may add -

    I was looking up graphics on this site:

    Some of the GT cards may not run the game or expansion packs that well or at all. What I am concerned with is that the game isn't finished yet, there will be more packs offered, game updates and Origin updates that are required to be able to play the game. I don't want to suggest something with a graphics card that won't handle the game that well. Or quit working because it can't handle the game anymore.

    Some of those links didn't offer the power supply information, so I don't know if a better graphics card can be dropped into some of those desktops.

    Though any desktop that you're interested in, you might be able to contact the seller to ask about the power supply.

    If the power supply is 500w or better you can add a new video card later on.

    He can also buy a better PSU if the need arises. The cases a standard midi towers so will take a standard PSU. But it is a good idea to inquire about the wattage of the current PSU
