    I would suggest a geforce 8400GS might not be good enough to run it. The CPU is a bit slow too, and you could add more RAM if possible since vista is greedy. Upgrading to windows 7 might help.

    Go here then search for Far Cry 3 then run their diagnostic tester to see if your system can run the game:

    You've got time.
    Watch_Dogs has been delayed until Spring 2014.

    8GB these days.
    That's the recommended amount for pretty much all modern games (with 4GB being bare-minimum).

    If you're looking to build a computer, have a look at this wall of text: http://goo.gl/7wYG2M

    It's his profession.
    It's a bit outdated, so he might be able to fix a few bits for you.

    as much as it will take in it's optimum configuration, (i.e sticking to the rules required for dual/triple/quad channel as appropriate and within the board and cpu's capability to run at full speed). No less than 8GB

    Windows 7 64bit.
    32bit won't work with 8GB of RAM.

    it will work, but only the first 3.5ish GB of ram will be available.

    7770 isn't a particularly good card for the money, and I would suspect the rest of your computer will need upgrading first. Is it a prebuilt or a custom build?
