Now like all new people say "I hope I put this in the right spot", I have a:

Model: ASUS Desktop PC M51AC series
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.40 GHz
Installed memory: 16.0 GB
System type: 64-bit op system, x64-based processor
Device type: NIVIDIA GeForce GT 620

Now I have installed some games already (DayZ, CS:GO, Killing floor, Minecraft, RCT3) and I would imagine I would have plenty of Gb left. I tried Arma 3 and DayZ but both are so hard on the GPU that it can run with everything on low. Now its not bad but seeing a sponge as a bush is not the best. I don't care if I have to run on Med settings as I am not looking for ultra settings (If I can run it smoothly with that, great!) So the question is will it run? Thanks guys!

Does it have legs?

Welcome to PR,

You're pretty much good to go,

Both the integrated iGPU on the i7-4770 (generally called the Intel HD Graphics 4600 )
AND your discrete GT 620 can both play PR at good detail levels and framerates.

I actually don't know which is better because there are no direct comparisons online for playing older directX9 games,

I'll just say , make sure you plug your monitor into the GT 620 and play with that for now.

having the 2nd most powerful CPU and a really low entry level GPU is a weird combo, I can't even find any direct comparisons,

I did find this:
Dedicated GPU still the better solution: NVIDIA upgrades GeForce GT 630 with 384 cores | Science and Technology

It says your GT 620 should do slightly better.

Of course it will!

Even with the Intel HD4600 integrated graphics it'll run almost all maps on all high settings. But use the GPU and tweak it with the Nvidia control panel to get the best quality!
