It'll run, but not well. Medium/low settings at ~25FPS. Unless you specifically want it for modding, the console versions would be a better option (if you have one).

The processor isn't doing most of the work, the graphics card is. To get an idea of how your graphics card performs, I did a quick Google search and found this:

Also i have one more question.
Would overclocking the graphics card be an option? i have heard that that is the way to go with this.

Just lower the graphics settings and you should be fine.

I said it right there. And recording uses several things that hurt performance. You can't pin it on one piece of hardware.
