I'm not too savy when it comes to specs and stats of computers. My sister just bought this computer but opted to go to mac and wants me to buy it off her... 

 

Will it run SL with decen't graphic settings??  I like to take photos and have been used to high graphics on my old machine

Acer TS Series Intel Core I& - 4790 3.66 GHZ Processor

12 GB RAM   2 TB HDD

Nvidia Geforce GTX745 Graphics with 4GB of Discrete Video Memory

 Windows 10

 

I don't really understand what this all means. Any help would be appreciated

It might run SL in High settings with acceptable performance probably.

Personally I wouldn't buy this one for that amount of money, though.

Pros: I7 4790, 12 GB Ram, Wifi 802.11ac.

Cons:
• The case is small. You won't be able to install a silent tower cooler. Small case = poor airflow = bad cooling = lower lifetime of components.
• The graphics card is at the medium to lower end.
• The 300 Watts Power Supply Unit is at the cutting lowest edge. (When you want to upgrade your graphics card someday, you will have to upgrade the PSU as well. Also it will be problematic to find a stronger graphics card which would fit into a small case like this.
• Hard Disk Drive at 5400rpm = slow.
• No SSD installed.
• Only 6 USB connectors, without mentioning how many of them are USB 3.0.
• The Mainboard has not much to offer regarding expansion slots. It's probably a cheap one as well.
