Solution
I'd recommend upgrading the CPU as well as the GPU and the RAM at a minimum. The HD 7770 should be able to play Watch Dogs at around the lowest possible settings in 1080p. Perhaps between low and medium settings at 720p. But just adding the HD 7770 shifts the bottle neck over to the CPU which is severely under powered. The Power Supply is probably a low quality one too as well as the RAM. Truthfully you should build a new PC from the ground up. But if you want to upgrade gradually - start with the 7770 and your RAM, then the CPU to at least a Core i3-3220 or equivalent. And if your PSU hasn't blown out by that time, replace it to a well-known quality manufacturer.

That celeron CPU is going to hold you back, I dont even know if it will play Watch Dogs at all.

Also what kind of power supply is it? If it is a quality brand then that 450w is more then enough, if it is a genric crap brand it might not work very well, even with the 7770 not requiring that much.

Watch Dogs is oddly CPU/GPU demanding. The reason for this probly the poor optimization. People with GTX 780s are struggling to run this game. An HD 7770 will most likely be able to run most games on normal setting, but probably not watch dogs.

Also if you have any AMD card in general you are going to have a bad time with this game.
