It has 4 memory slots,so can use one 8gb, 4 2gb,or 2 4gb.The 4 slots let you add up to 32gb.If your just using the computer for every day stuff,8gb will work just find.
You can add a video card with hdmi to it just fine. It can support any stand card, though you should check the power requirements of the video card, since the power supply on the computer tops out at 300w.
Get a $5 start menu addon and you’ll be happy. I never see the Win 8 tile UI. I use Start8 works well and you get all the advantages of Windows 8 (10 second cold startup, etc) without ever having to see metro.
This is very similar to my primary machine I use daily (and right now!) that I bought here refurb years ago. I think the main difference is I only got a 1TB HD but my super drive is also blu-ray.
I heartily recommend them. In fact, if this one had Windows 7 on it instead of 8 I’d be seriously tempted to try another. The AMD quad core chip is solid, even when I’m doing very heavy data analysis. I upgraded the ram to 12 gigs when I first got it. I’m about to start a project to put a new power supply and video card into it, because I intend to continue using it for a long time.
