Which type of online games do you want to play? Shooters? MOBA? MMO? RTS? A lot of games have online components.

Your GPU is alright, but your CPU straight up sucks. Just a little tip... if you have to ask what games you can run, it is time to upgrade. lol

You can never go wrong with Starcraft and Starcraft II. Maybe Hearthstone? It doesn't require much.

@ehaag: At this point, I would recommend building a new system because you will have to replace your motherboard, CPU, and RAM most likely. You can try selling your current tower as is to put money towards a new build. You don't have to build it yourself, but I would recommend buying it from a shop that does custom builds. Don't buy cheap pre-built computers from HP or Dell, etc..

You might need an upgrade I hate to state, otherwise I hope you like Indie games.

This is a good one-

In fact it's one of the highest rated games on Steam.

@ehaag: Try out https://pcpartpicker.com/ It has price comparisons from multiple stores. It also has some helpful tips for beginners. You can just look up the prices there and do price matches at your shop of choice. I use www.ncix.com often myself because they have local stores where I live and I can quickly go get the parts. They will also build your computer with whatever parts you choose for a small fee. I build my own rigs, but I have seen them build rigs for others and they do a pretty good job.

@ehaagWell if 2D sprites isn't your style all I can recommend is a game I personally enjoy that uses Unreal Engine 2.

War for the Overworld but not sure you can run it,

At anycase it's an RTS RPG game, if that's not your style as well I think your options are pretty limited.

@ehaag: I believe there is a UK version of pcpartpicker that will show European retailers. I recommend creating a new thread in the hardware forum.

The people there can quickly create a build for you. Just make sure you give your budget and expectations. Example: 1080p/60fps on high-ultra settings.

Every year, the international PC Gamer team puts its heads together to hash out a list of the hundred PC games you need to play. This year, we're stressing 'play'. With a handful of exceptions, every game on the list is one that you can access and enjoy today. Where that's not the case, it's because that game is special and we feel you should know about it anyway. The hope is that you'll read through this list and discover a classic that you'd never otherwise have played.

Our selection process is democratic and subjective. Every member of the jury put forward their personal top 15 games of all time, and those lists were combined to produce our longlist. Finally, one person each from the UK and US teams entered a room (well, a Skype call), went through the entire thing, and emerged with a final list that we're proud of.

Unless that laptop was explicitly marketed to you as a gaming laptop of some kind, it's likely you won't be able to play modern 3D games very well, if at all. Heat dissipation is a very big problem for high powered components in laptops, so you have to really pay through the nose for a laptop that can match even a modest gaming desktop. Gaming laptops are a rich person's toy, often very bulky with very short battery life. Not that they don't have their uses, depending on your situation. I loved my Clevo when I had it.

Graphical memory and RAM are not the most important factors either. It's more about GPU model and CPU specs, which you'll need to check on. Keep that in mind if you're following any of the recommendations here. You should be able to play GOG.com-style classics, modern indie releases and undemanding games, and some older stuff like Source games and the Half Life series (HL1 & 2 & the episodes being my strong recommendations btw) since they scale well. Definitely check out Baldur's Gate, Planescape and Fallout if you like RPGs, they'll be no problem. But even the first Witcher game, from 2007, might be too much for your lappy since it was a very demanding game for the time.

If you're interested in playing big name titles and the common multi-format, console port kind of titles on PC, getting a gaming desktop is kind of unavoidable.
