Can I run it? Or at least update so I can?

Hi,

I want to run simcity (2013), but I have an old computer. I have the computer with the below specs:

My question is, can I run the game (on minimum settings of course)? If not, can I upgrade the computer in someway so it can (ex.upgrade the graphics card)? If so, what do you recommend. Again, please in mind, Im just going for minimum to run as Im not much of a PC gamer and this will probably be the only game I will play on it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

simcity's requirements are: athlon 64 X2 4000+, 2G ram, ½G nvidia 7800 or radeon HD 2000.
if you upgraded you GPU to an nvidia 640 i think you could get away with running it on lower settings, it would benefit to double your ram too.

You could always check the "Can You Run It?" site here. It'll tell you if you can currently run it, and if you can't, it'll tell you what's the component that's holding you back. Pretty neat. My guess would also be that if anything, your integrated GPU may be insufficient.

But again, you should check
