this should get me a rough idea on pricing: [WayBack] Geheugen intern – Producten vergelijken – Tweakers – DDR3 1.333 Ghz 2Gb modules
It has an NVidia GForce 315 based video card, so it should be able to drive 1920×1080 just fine despite being from 2010. Note to self: drivers will not be updated; latest are from december 2016

That combined video combined with a E5700 Pentium Dual-Core processor should make it excellent for home work and card gaming:
