Will my computer run Dishonored?

Dishonored is on sale today on steam (It's the last day of the Quake-con sale) and I want to know if my computer can handle the game in a decent manner.

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Ram: 8 Gigabytes

CPU: AMB Athlon II Quad-core

Video Card: Nvidia Geforce with Cuda

Update:

Sorry, I keep forgetting things. If my computer can play it at all, what kind of frames per second would I have? I am able to play Hitman: Absolution at around 18-25 frames, but I assume that Dishonored is a bit more intensive.

Ok, here's the thing about gaming on a PC. Sure, you will probably be able to run the game. But when you try and game on a PC that isn't designed or equipped to run modern games (or is outdated like in your case), then your experience will not be so great.

If you are running Hitman Absolution it has to be on a low resolution monitor, and at the lowest or maybe medium in game settings. And then you are only getting 18-25 FPS? Gamers agree across the board that 60 FPS is the golden number, with 30 FPS being the least acceptable FPS for a enjoyable experience. Anything in between 30 and 60 is what the majority of gamers play with. But resolution is a factor too.

1920x1080 is kind the standard or starting point, and it goes up from there.

What you have is a computer which is fine for surfing the net and watching movies. But its not a gaming rig. You will be overjoyed when someday you finally get a system that runs a game at 1920x1080 at high or ultra settings and gets 40-60 FPS! But that rig you're using now is not a system built for PC gaming. At least not modern PC gaming.

Dishonored is not really that demanding of a game. But it is more demanding than Absolution.

By the way. Your processor is an AMD, not AMB. And there are several Athlon II quad cores, so that isn't the exact name or model of your processor.

I would hold off on buying games, and start saving for a new rig.

i'm tremendously optimistic you would be ok. Worst case: You dial down some photograph suggestions. So start up with max decision, max out each and all the photograph suggestions (factor, shadows, antialias, etc) and notice the way it runs. If it is uneven and stuttering, decrease the call somewhat and then play with the different settings.
