Hi, I'm fixed up but I'm trying to recruit players, 2 of which need new PCs.

this spec has come on the market and I need to know if it will play the game well on decent settings? I'm aware the graphics are integrated, but I guess it can be upgraded if it can't run the game.

AMD Quad-Core A8-5500 Accelerated Processor 3.2 GHz, up to 3.7 GHz with AMD Turbo-Core Technology and internal AMD Radeon? HD7560D DirectX? 11 Graphics
4GB DDR3 SDRAM memory
1TB (1000GB) hard disk
Multiformat DVD/CD Burner4
Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 n-Standard
USB 3.02
Integrated memory card reader5
Network Controller Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s.
8 Channel high-definition audio6

P.S, need to know asap as these will sell out quick.

It will run it, but I can't attest to it running it too well. Like most other integrated graphics solutions, I'm guessing it will choke due to lack of VRAM. They would be able to play though. Perhaps at all low with some medium settings.

It is only ?350 & comes with Windows7 so I'm wondering if it's worth buying and putting a dedicated graphics card in. Would that then make it able to play on higher settings easily?

I can't say for sure as I'm not particularly up to speed with the latest AMD processors, but assuming the motherboard on that PC has a proper PCI-E slot (16x/2.0) it should do fine...

But for 450+ pounds you'd probably be able to come up with something better if you put it together yourself, keep that in mind.

The CPU is fine, PR is single threaded, so it wont utilize more than one core.
is the HDD 7200RPM?
Everything else looks ok except for the graphics card. The graphics card has pretty poor ratings on a couple websites. It looks like it is an onboard graphics card? You should probably update that.
