That will run blender just fine, but it will take a long time to render. I don't believe Blender supports rendering on the Intel integrated GPU, so you'll be limited to rendering on 4 threads on the CPU. Likely won't be too bad for small scenes, but it will be really slow for super detailed scenes.

Your best bet for fast rendering with your system is to pick up a Nvidia GPU. Any 400 series or better will have the CUDA cores needed for GPU rendering with Blender (which is at least 10 times faster than CPU rendering). Even a GT730 with 384 CUDA cores, like this one:

would kick butt for Blender rendering and it's only $65 USD.

AMD GPUs are supported on the latest version of Blender, but only when using the now unsupported Catalyst drivers in Linux. So you either have to use new Blender with an old Linux kernel and old AMD drivers and run Blender in experimental mode or... Use an Nvidia card that "just works".
