My old pc died after several years of using it.. (It lasted 13 years? lol)

so I'm buying a different computer.... yeah its a dell pc...

Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF Desktop Computer PC

One of the main things I wanna play is "Sins of a solar empire II"

I also wanna have little to no wait time between loading acts on D2R (Where I can join the faster teams on reset etc) I also want to be able to run a couple of copies so that I can do manual level jobs services etc
I personally have 3? accounts I think (its been a while)

Old friend of mine randomly plays Diablo 3 and 4, would like to join periodically and not have much of any issue. I don't require the best of graphics

I'm not sure if I need to find a graphic card and or increase the ram

I figure for 450 bucks after tax. It isn't too bad of a buy

So, I just ordered the computer... on a budget what would you buy to make the best improvement for some game play? Thanks for anyone that can help assist me in this!

What did you have before?

If D2R is installed on an SSD it'll load as fast as it can. Only thing I can't say for sure is if the Integrated graphics is enough for 3 clients, but there is a mod that will reduce resources for multiple clients that forces legacy mode. You'll have to search for this online though

Worst case scenario try it out for a couple weeks, and return it if it doesn't suite your needs

Edit: You won't be able to play Sins of a solar empire II with this though, that requires a GPU card
