Could someone tell me which of these would be the best option or you think they would run ArcheAge at all? I've had/ran the game on an ibuypower 8gb desktop with a AMD Radeon R7-240 graphics card before and it ran pretty well. The problem is the desktop below that has the AMD Radeon R7-240 that I want, is only a 4gb. The other is an 8gb but it has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 graphics card. I really liked the R7 card better but i'm curious how much impact only having 4gbs instead of 8gbs would really make?

Here are the requirements for playing the game- Minimum System Requirements Operating System 32-bit or 64-Bit Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1, Win7 SP1, Win8/.1 Processor (CPU) Intel Core2 Duo Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 8000 Series 512MB Radeon HD 4000 Series 512MB Memory (RAM) 2GB Storage 30GB

Recommended System Requirements Operating System 32-bit or 64-Bit Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1, Win7 SP1, Win8/.1 Intel Core i5 nVidia GTS250 1GB Radeon HD 4850 1GB 4GB 40GB

Here are the desktops, these are the specs- iBUYPOWER WA550G Gaming Desktop PC with AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 10 Home NVIDIA GeForce GT730 2GB Graphics With 2GB dedicated graphics memory

Here is the link to it- https://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER-Black-Gamer-Power-WA550B-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-Quad-Core-FX-4300-Processor-8GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-10-Home-Monitor-Not-Includ/23745948

Here is the second specs- iBUYPOWER Gamer WA543R7 Black Desktop PC with AMD Quad-Core FX-4300 Processor, 4GB Memory, 500GB Hard Drive and Windows 8.1 Home Premium AMD Radeon R7-240

The Link-https://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER-Gamer-WA543R7-Black-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-Quad-Core-FX-4300-Processor-4GB-Memory-500GB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Monitor-Not-In/35119955

This is the one that I really want but is the integrated graphics card going to be an issue?

I know these aren't a high price point but I just need something for right now lol. Thank you so much for any advice!

According to game-debate.com, 4GB of ram is the recommended amount for that game:

Also from game-debate GPU comparisons, it shows R7 240 is slightly better than GT 730:

4GB RAM + R7 240 should be a better choice performance-wise specifically for ArcheAge.

I don't know much about integrated AMD graphics, but i would stay away from AMD and it's iGPUs.
