If it's marked as a "no" then it's a no. The GT520 is not a strong card, and while you may be able to get the base game running on it on low settings, running a high-strain game like TS3 on a weak card is not at all recommended.

No. Even though the CPU and RAM are above recommended, the video card is not good enough.

Luckily, with desktops it's pretty easy to replace a single component like the graphics card, while keeping everything else.
