    I would probably rely on the intergrated graphics. Cause I don't have a hot graphics card either..

    Not a chance this game is real heavy on the graphics I mean I use to run a HD3870 and this game forced me to upgrade to a HD5770 which got better FPS performance....on that current setup I doubt you would even get 20fps...I tested this game yesterday on my younger brother's computer and I got on that 200fps easy (btw I have one brother)

    lets see where to start with that card its GDDR3 memory on it and 512MB isnt bad but I mean I had a GDDR4 512 ATI Radeon HD3870 and that had little less than what yours had and I would guess it would be just about playable on the lowest graphics settings...its no GTX770 but you might be able to play it okay...I need some help here from the others guys on the forums...

    Okay call in the other people see what they think. Lol
    But also take in mind that the A8 is a quad core.

    over all it's a weak cpu and gpu packaged together. It would run the game at probably 35-40 fps on low (gpu bottleneck) but that's about it. You would need fast ram too which would put on quite a bit more expenses. IMO get an AM3+ motherboard, FX series cpu, and a dedicated video card and some 1333mhz ram.

    I have a silly amount of ram (3.6 gb)
    I'm also on a 170$ budget.

    at least get an fm2+ motherboard so you can upgrade to kaveri later. fm2+ is compatible with richland, trinity and kaveri but fm2 is capped at richland

    But in the techdemo as of now i'm getting 19 fps with a 2.4 ghz. Going up to 3.9/4.3ghz would have to get me atleast 25-30. Right?

    I really prefer AMD over anything knowing that I have a complete AMD computer.

    cpu performance isn't just the freq of the cpu...

    Its possible you could get 25-30fps...

    Try Intel they are usually better but then you would have to buy a GPU...though thats the snag..

    fm2+ is the socket type. kaveri is next gen AMD cpu's (already out on am3+) and apu's(coming very soon). Trinity is 2nd gen of the apu line and all of them start with 5. eg. the apu in my sig. Richland is the current gen and all start with 6 like the one you're looking at

    You're probably going to need new ram for your new pc though. I bought the bare minimum (in size and speed for an apu) as I was on a 260 dollar budget.
