Can A8-5600k run games with 7790

[Memisae]

Okay so i am typing this on my a8-5600k pc running idle at <25C and prime95 at 61C.

Specs:
AMD A8-5600k APU
Asrock fm2a75m-dgs
Kingston hyperx 1866ghz 4gb (1 stick, buying second one shortly)
Coolermaster b500 500 watt PSU

I am thinking of buying a:
MSI R7790-2GD5/OC GPU

I know i might have bottlenek issue, i am fine with that because i might upgrade my mobo and apu to a better cpu and better mobo.

I REALLY want to play Watchdogs, here are the minimum specs and my specs from chttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/:

I will be buying ram and gpu so will this cut it?

I can also overclock my apu to 4.4 ghz with AMD overdrive...

Thanks alot!!

I don't think your APU will be particularly a bottleneck for that graphics card. It will run Watchdogs fine. Maybe not on the highest settings, but it will run fine.

You're welcome

Looking at the minimum specs it looks like Watchdogs needs a quad core processor - which you have, but doesn't really care what quad core. The Q8400 listed was released, ohh, about 5 years ago. It's very slow by modern standards (older architecture and only runs at something like 2.5Ghz). if that will run it, your chip will run it fine.
