according to game-debate, you're good. I would use game debate to check system requirements from now on. From your specs you gave me here's what your performance will be. Long story short you're good.

yes, it can, but if I was you I would try to build my own PC. The Psu might be a very bad one from a pre~build pc, and AMD cpus are bad for gaming. If you want we can try to help you find a better PC for the same price you will pay for that one. For that we would need to know you budget and he country where you are.

it is a custom build its a stock

 

[Tchota]

still the psu seems to be a bad. try to find out mode to the seller and ask him, which cpu comes whith that combo.

 

[Vynavill]

Well, a bad PSU can bring a system down if one is unlucky enough. It's just a concern, and a good one at that too, albeit it doesn't specifically target the OP's issue.

Secondarily, while GD is reliable in terms of requirements, it's not perfect. It provides a situation closer to reality that the requirements printed on the back cover, but it still acts (and should be treated) as a guideline.

To directly answer the OP now, it depends on what settings you play on. 720p? Medium-high; 1080p? Medium-low; in both cases FPS will vary from map to map, and in both cases you should stay away from options related to shadow caching and supersampling, and use FXAA post processing. At stock clocks, an FX 8320 isn't exactly a top performer, but it isn't bad either; the GPU, on the other hand, is slightly on the weaker side.
Consider that I can't keep ultra settings up with the FPS cap (90) with a 290x and you'll get the reason for what I said above 😛

whats your budget and ill see what i can do

 

[Tchota]

I love how not only have you not helped with the OP's problem at all but you consitently are trying to tell him to get something he doesn't need at all. Stay classy Tom's Hardware.

that's your opinion and every body can have one.

but you are wrong about one thing, if you read again the first message you quoted, you will see that I answered his question.

Going AMD for a gaming build is many times a very bad investment compared to a intel build.

The i3 would give him 50% better minimum frame rate and about 48% better average frame rate, so why should he buy the fx 6300?

You come here with a projected FPS analysis and you think that you are helping the OP... As I said, its your opinion, and you are free to have it.

getting back to the point though, something tells me the OP is getting this whole PC pre-built, either off the IBuyPower website or through newegg so they have a custom PC without actually building it.

According to this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTYrzfEfk1E) running the game on ultra high settings with that card at 1080p will result in an average of 70fps. Assuming the processor won't bottleneck the game (which it 99% won't, but I'm sure someone will give me all these reasons why it will or something), that build will run the game just fine.

Your video at most can demonstrate two things (if you trust it), one, that amd have good GPUs, two, that intel CPUs are very good for gaming.

If you want you can assume that an FX 8320 will have the same performance of an i5 4570s, but I can only hope OP will not make that assumption, for the sake of his money

The video advertises generic game settings, without specifying (unless I'm blind 😛):
- which ones were actually set to ultra and which were not. The game with just main texture details set to ultra and anything else to low/disabled averagely consumes 1.8~2.0 GB VRAM @1080p.
- which tweaks, to config files or the CCC, if any, were applied.
- which resolution the player is playing at. 720p? That performance is more than understandable. 1080p? Not so sure...

It's VERY unreliable IMO.
With the build he got, the OP should be more than capable to run the game fine. He shouldn't, however, expect to max the game out, nor to play at above 60 fps at all times, especially if he's set for 1080p.

Besides, even if it was a pre-built from iBuyPower, they're still gonna charge him for assembling the parts (AFAIK, those are just hardware pre-sets you can fly by, but they'll still have to assemble them). Since they offer customizable solutions, if this was the case it would be best to state a budget and let someone over the forums here build him a system.
If it came from somewhere else, it would likely mean the assembling price is already factored in, so there really is no reason for not going over their main website and customizing a new one from scratch.

the video shows somewhere around the 5-minute mark he's running the game at 1080p ultra settings (the exact point is somewhere in the comments section).

And your point from iBuyPower actually isn't that true, my current PC is a CyberPower build that I got from newegg during Black Friday 2012 for $100 cheaper than it was worth (worth $600, bought for $500). Now, since then, don't get me wrong, I've heavily modified it, but all the main parts are the same as when I bought it. But the build itself, if I were to have built it in 2012 it would have cost more than just buying the Cyberpower build.

I am assuming that the i5 has well beyond the needed power for what the game takes, and that an FX-6300 will be able to run it. Considering the graphics card can run it on ultra (the video shows the graphics settings somewhere around the 5-minute mark), and considering Game-Debate says its good, I'd say it's fine.

@epikzombie will the FX-8250 run the COD AW better than an i3-4160? No, the benchmark I linked show that it will not.

Will the FX-8350 run that game without any problems. Probably not:

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2375006/call-duty-advanced-warfare-framerate-problems.html

Maybe there is a fix:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/209660/discussions/0/613941122651210473/

But if you go AMD now, in a few years you will need a CPU upgrade and you will have to change motherboard and CPU. If you go with i3-4160 now and you find your self, in a few years with the need to upgrade your CPU you can go with an i5, i7 or xeon E3, without changing the motherboard.

his graphics card will be the bigger bottleneck in the next few years, honestly, probably more than the CPU. If he's worried about future-proofing for the next few years he probably shouldn't choose this system with the weak(er) card. I've kinda noticed this trend with pre-build companies like CyberPower, Cybertron, iBuyPower, etc. where they put okay parts in their machines (for the most part) but low to mid-range cards in.

A BBC Micro can run Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. You should be good.
