That short amount of time goes by too quickly.

Prefer to play test for at least 20 to 40 hours to get a good feel for the game.

A lot of motherboards come with onboard video these days and it is fine if you are not a gamer. That motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot anyway that can probably take a more powerful video card if he wants or needs. Just no SLI but hardly anyone does that.
