No chance. Low grade GPU and the APU has a more powerful integrated graphics. Plus, why would 750w be just enough for your system. Come on, even 350w is enough for your system. This will be far more powerful at the same price -

way to much power supply for that build. also if you want to go amd, forget about the apu's and get an fx cpu (6300 can be had for cheap). then take the money saved on the power supply and get a better video card.

also, get two (2) 4gb chips instead of one 8gb chip so you can use dual channel ram.

I still think the 750Ti is still slightly weak for the settings you want if you want around 60fps.
