you are out of luck since in that budget you could only get a cpu mobo ram combo at best for that game, if will be fairly demanding i can guarantee that, even if you buy used and u get lucky you could get a pc that runs it on lowest settings 720p/900p, for a decent gaming pc, that will run arkham knight at medium/high settings with acceptable fps you need at least 500 budget, that would be just cutting it, with some corner cutting and getting cheaper psu(which let's be honest is not recommended), you could get a cpu/mobo/ram/psu for 300,, but you will still need a case, hard drive or ssd, graphics card, and a good gpu will cost you around 200, or if you buy used you can get one for around 100 but either way your budget falls short for...

That is really really low budget for a gaming PC. Even with a G3258, you can only go so far. You would want to have a dedicated GPU for this game I want to say. Your best bet is to get a console. Especially if you don't have a monitor or OS.

Arkham Knight reccomends a dual core and 4 GB of RAM. I agree that they need a larger budget, but you probably could get away with getting a G3258 and 4 GB of RAM. It will be taxing, but I still say they need a 350-400 to play it pretty well. You would be surprised what an overclock G3258 can play. I was able to run Shadow of Mordor with a G3258 and a GTX 670 very well.

I wouldn't since before moving to my i7 i had g3258@4,7ghz, it beats everything amd has and is great for mmo's, but the moment a game needs more threads it becomes a stutter fest, i seriously doubt that arkham knight will be playable on dual cores, since every game that's coming out is more and more threaded, i played shadow of mordor on it and while it was running good on ultra, it still dipped below 30 at some points, also arkham origins(which was the most optimized game out of all the arkham series) didn't run that well on my g3258 and from what i have seen of arkham knight there is zero chance of it running any better

Another option is to buy an i3 equipped, Asus refurb, on Newegg, and add a GT 730 or 740 to it. The GTX 750/750ti would be better, but out of your budget range.

The A10-7850k should play it pretty well. I played Starcraft II with it on pretty good settings!

Try it out!

Update: You could even add a discrete graphics card later and it won't bottle neck really. Look up A10-7850k JayzTwoCents for a good idea of what this APU can do!
