I would run shaders with 4x AA on Max and I could visit any server without lagging. The AMD 7770 is better than the GTX 550ti so I would say you will be good to go. I suggest building a new PC since your processor is too old and your power supply probably won't give out enough power for your card.
The specs I listed you are good quality parts and will be able to run Shaders and probably any other game you throw it, even Far Cry 3.

You need to make sure your power supply can give enough power for the AMD 7770. Are you on a desktop or a laptop, the CPU you gave us is a laptop CPU I think and even so its pretty old. The processor will end up bottlenecking the graphics card.
Id suggest building a new PC, if you have a desktop you already have a screen, keyboard, and mouse. Just make sure your screen will plug in, here are a list of parts you can order from newegg.com or another site
Motherboard: ASRock H77M LGA 115 $70
Processor: Intel core i3 3200 Ivy Bridge (3.3ghz --pretty fast) $120
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz GSkill $39
Case: NZXT Source 210 $39
DVD Drive: ASUS 24x DVD Drive $19
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 3 7200rpm $79
PSU: CX430w 430W $45
Graphics Card: HIS AMD 7770 $134
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM $99

Guys, I doubt he'll be able to build his own computer. While yes, his computer probably can't even run a new card, but I doubt he can build a new one.

He does seem pretty young and he isn't able to clarify whether or not he has a laptop unless I missed something. You are probably right.
