Anything will RUN the game. What graphics/resolution are you wanting to play at?

No it will NOT run the game, or at least not in a decent graphic. It will start the game, run it, but poorly. Especially in non-single player situations.

I'd expect around 10-20 FPS with low settings with the integrated graphics. If you added a $150 graphics card to it it'd be fine assuming it has a PCIe x16 slot for a graphics card.

I think you just mixed two phone brands together and called it a laptop.

The i3 paired with a 750Ti could work on low settings 45FPS I would think. That would be your best option as its the most flexible with power supplies.

Can you post a link? If it's only a decent graphics card in it, it will be fine.

The GT 730 is more like a business person needing more monitor's on his PC. It won't really perform in a gaming sense.

The i3 is a better CPU. I'd still recommend it, and get this for graphics card.

soo should i get this? i mean i still need to get a monitor so a new graphics card is kinda out of the picture at the moment but do you think this computer will perform well with about 15 people in a server, on normal graphics with the graphics card it comes equip with?

If your only options are no graphics card or cheap graphics card then your choices are limited. GT730 will be better off playing games.

I was on lunch when replying to this so if you have a spare $20 this is a better CPU/GPU combo that will outperform anything posted here.

~$590 including Windows and a monitor. Building a computer is super easy these days and nothing to fear. If you are committed to not doing that though, the FX and GT730 is the better option.

My specs are:

It's a laptop
HP Pavilion
AMD A10-8700p with Radeon R6
Compute Cores 4C+6G 1.80ghz

And I run 60+ fps on single player at normal settings.
For 20+ man gates, I go to high fps settings and I adjust the bike graphics so I can see it well and it's not lagging at all. I've raced 30+ people and there was no problem too.

Why don't you just wait a little and save. I know it doesn't sound bad because I hated it when people told me to wait and save a little more. I bought a PC + monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS for about $1000 and I was/am disappointed on what I got. I rushed it so bad and it costed me another $600 to do upgrades I shouldn't have had to done.

Wait a little bit and save some money for a good PC. Trust me. It's worth it in the long run. Don't want to spend the little money you have on a PC that will cause you problems in the long run. I got an 8350 with STOCK cooling because I wanted to get the PC NOW and didn't want to wait.
