My wife and I homeschool our daughters (5 and 7) and use a Chromebase for a portion of their lessons at the moment. However, they are both becoming very interested in strategy games (currently age of empires 2) and when I mentioned that I used to play LAN games with my friends on it, they are insisting that I do that with them as well.
So, I am wondering if there is a build that I could assemble that a motherboard's integrated graphics might handle a game like AoE2 (hoping to save money on the front end) and then slap some video cards in down the road to handle games with higher requirements.
My budget could vary but I was hoping to keep the set up under $400 as they are really only into web-based schooling/games and AoE2 for the time being while hopefully having decent enough bones to support other future requirements with the assistance of a video card or other upgrades.
Tons of thanks!
