I will say average the GPU is not that strong its a low end GPU its similar to gtx 750 non ti version gtx 750 uses 1 gb ddr5 memory but gtx 745 uses 4 gb ddr3 memory which is worse try a different GPU if you have a fixed budget in mind share it i may help you finding a good one for you at your budget other parts are good enough.

Thanks for your reply, prit. What about all of those same specs, only with an AMD Radeon R9 270 with 2GB GDDR5 for my graphics card? Would that be okay?

yes that will be much better at least you could play most of the games at ultra settings.

Go for AMD Radeon R9 270 or GTX 750ti according to your other system specs.
GTX 745 (OEM) is worse than GTX 750, I'm playing games on high to ultra settings with GTX-750 OC 2GB.
GTX 745 bandwidth is very low as compared to GTX 750 and is also GDDR3, pixel-rate is low and also texture Rate is little low.

Alright, thank you both for responding. I've decided to go with the AMD card I listed above.
