do you need an OS, monitor, keyboard, other peripherals?

also, will you be doing anything that is taxing on the processor other than gaming? (video editing, large photoshop work, CAD/CAM, 3D animation work)

 

[stephen-roberts]

No os needed monitor or other needed
just for pure gaming please

Yeah, something like this basically.
