You could play any game on high with that niceSmile

It's not bad, but if you want to play higher end games, you're going to need a discrete graphics card. I'm all for the AMD APU, but it's just not enough for some games.

The game should run just fine. This build exceeds recommended settings.

It should run fine, but since it's integrated graphics, it'll surely won't run on high settings, and most higher end games will require at least some kind of dedicated GPU.

The A6-6400K dual-core processor, combined with its integrated Radeon HD 8470D graphics solution will not play GTA IV very well. This processor is also part of the Piledriver architecture, which is known to be pretty bad.

Sticking with the FM2/FM2+ socket compatibility with your motherboard, I would definitely suggest the A10-7850K, running from the newer Steamroller architecture.

The 7850K features an integrated dedicated-level GPU (Radeon R7 255) which will definitely run GTA IV very well. Check YouTube for others playing the game with this APU.

Lastly, 8 GB of RAM is definitely enough for any game at the moment.

Enjoy!
