Star Citizen

Okay so I know this game is not on steam and its its own thing, but I thought this would be a good place to ask. This game looks..BEAST. But I dunno if my potato can run it. Specs: CPU: i5-3330s, 12gb RAM, PNY GeForce GT 730 1gb GDDR5 (low profile). I know that the GPU is bad but I just want to try this game. Would be even be playable??

That graphics card is too weak for that game, even at lowest settings and 720p. You simply won't reach a playable framerate.
Everything else that you listed is fine, however.

Damn. If I were to upgrade it to a GTX 460 do you know if it would be any better? (nice pic btw)

[_I_]

yes, but a gtx460 needs a good power supply

what brand/model psu do you have?

[SundownKid]

Star Citizen minimum requirement is a GTX 670.

youre trying to run it on medium so you need the i7 3770 or better for ultra you need the i7 5690X ie the best i7 cpu available also you need more ram too

Actually you might be able to run it at really low settings and framerates:
"
Minimum System Requirements

Windows 7 (64 bit) – Service Pack 1, Windows 8 (64 bit)
DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM
Quad core CPU
8GB Memory
"

It doesn't say how powerful the GPU needs to be and I'm going to guess it's relatively flexible. You'll probably have to crank down the settings and resolution but I bet it will play at like at least 20 to 30 FPS. However I could potentially be wrong.

Still since the rest of your system is pretty solid for it maybe you could get a cheap but decent GPU & PSU upgrade that should increase your GPU power by multiple times over:

EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
PowerColor Radeon R9 270 2GB TurboDuo Video Card

Mail-in Rebates: -$50.00
Total: $117.98

If you already have a 500W or more PSU with at least one PCie 6 or 6+2 pin PCie connector then you don't need the new PSU. I'm guessing you probably do need a new PSU though.
