I imagine it would run those games. I don't know about NFS or its requirements.

Why are you building a miniPC for gaming? I would buy a standard desktop PC for that, although admittedly I do have the space for one. Don't get me wrong; I like miniPCs and the idea behind them; I just think they have a particular role to play.
