I don't think it will run it well...it has an integrated GPU (Radeon APU). Mind me asking what your budget is?

The installation of a discreet video card would go a long way toward improving your experience in game. Unfortunately, there are no video cards that meet the recommended requirements that can function within the limitations of the AcBel HBA008-ZA1GT power supply featured in this tower. If you decided to install a video card, you would first need to upgrade that PSU. Thankfully, TERA is forgiving. Upgrading to play this game won't cost you $500.

A number of cards on the market will deliver the performance you are looking for. In my opinion, the Radeon HD 6850, and GeForce GTX560 both deliver an outstanding bang-for-buck ratio right now. The good news is that the chassis ASUS selected for your computer has no additional disk emplacements below the primary hard disk and optical drive, leaving the bottom half of the mid-tower enclosure entirely vacant. A good thing because it leaves plenty of room for larger video cards like the Radeon HD 6850.

If you decide to take that advice, I would replace the 300 watt power supply with something in the 650 watt or greater range.

To recap:
@Fry's
Thermaltake TR2 RX 650W power supply $75*

and

EVGA GeForce GTX560 $175*
or
ASUS Radeon HD 6850 $154*



It should be said that I try to be as accurate as I can, but everyone makes mistakes. You should ask questions of the crew at Fry's (or wherever you purchased that comp) to make for absolutely certain that whatever upgrade you choose will work in your specific situation.

Good luck with that.
