Does he need a discrete graphics card or is an IGP good enough?

If IGP is fine then he can afford a much faster quad core cpu, something in the region of an AMD Phenom II X4 940 or Intel Core 2...

It's a problem with vis, though I've never seen that error before. Have you tried doing what it suggests? Does it still occur if you func_detail that fence in the screenshot?

It's a better analogy than you realise. You didn't identify why a potato is not a fruit. Instead you brought in a description of it which isn't conclusive. (vegetables can be fruits).

Damage is relative. There are quite a few games where the sniper rifle does less damage than a close range shotgun, or a direct hit with a rocket.
