Yes, the hardware will support the HD 5450 no problem. However, ensure that you have 64-bit Windows, as 32-bit does not support more than 4GB of RAM + GPU RAM (VRAM.). You have a total of 5GB (3GB RAM + 2GB VRAM.), so it may cause problems if you use 32-bit Windows.

^^^ Agreed. That GPU is a very poor performer, I'd try to at least get an r7 250, or look around for a used HD 7750 (They go for about $80 on Ebay.). What is the resolution you'll be gaming at?

Yes, they do add up:
