"im pretty sure the motherboard is a acer aspire m3400"

That's a desktop PC model, not a motherboard model.

Did you buy the PC ready-built or did you build it yourself?

It's my brothers old computer how do I find out what it's called?

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

Did your brother build it or was it factory-built?

Is there a brand name on the front of the PC case?

Go here: http://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/drivers

Where it says "Search by Product Model", enter Aspire M3400, then click the green Aspire M3400 underneath what you just typed.

The drivers should appear lower down the page.
Then just select Windows 7 32-bit, or Windows 7 64-bit depending on which version your PC has.

Note: Only Windows 7 is supported on the Aspire M3400.

Good luck.

Thanks alot man and will I be able to put the drivers on a USB?

Yes, you can put the drivers on a pen drive using a different PC if the Acer can't connect to the net yet.

Then plug the pen drive in to the Acer.

Yes, that much is obvious.

The on-board graphics adapter is not powerful enough to play that game.
You will have to install a gaming GPU (AMD or GeForce) in a PCI Express slot.
You will probably have to install a more powerful PSU as well.
