The problem is pretty much every component in your PC is outdated trash, and you'd need to upgrade one component in order to upgrade another. and you'd need to upgrade another to upgrade that one, and so on. No use upgrading the CPU on that motherboard, but then you'd need a GPU for gaming, and much more RAM, and for all this you'd need a new PSU to support it. THen you'd need a better case to cool it down and by the time it was over you would have a new build either way.
How much do you have to spend? It would be quite useful to know.

Honesty is always the best policy. Not one thing could be upgraded without being bottlenecked. And (s)he deserves to know that not only are his components very old (in a market that changes and grows rapidly, I might add), but they aren't worthwhile for gaming.
If we had a number, any number of what you have to spend, it would be nice. Would you consider building or do you just want to buy a finished desktop?
There's no other way? I mean, that being that you guys tell me the parts that would work best? Like a specific graphics card? I'm kinda broke and stuff so yeah..SlaveOfTerror
Can you show us what mother board do you have?
Not much stuff we can do, but; i rmemeber when i was playing with an old laptop, i couldnt get css pass 30 fps, and i used it for like 3 or 4 years!, i would lagg in almost every game, guess i had a bit of luck and alot of patience; and now im using a gaming pc.
Well if you can't afford a new pc, it's ok, there's better stuff to do

This. My gaming-quality PC just died and I've been playing my bass guitar 4 hours a day and helping people out on forums such as this one. I almost have a life now.
Honestly save up for a while. When you hit around $600-$700 drop it on a nice budget-midrange build.
im afraid even i an advocate of legacy parts for gaming cant do much with your computer your honestly better off saving for either a MAJOR system overhaul or a new computer. the money required to fix your computer up for gaming via upgrade is about $450-500 for 500 you can buy a decent new machine to build on or a decent OS free gaminbg mahcine (OS would make it come to 600)
This is what I get for not watching Terminator. What a shame you have nothing better to do with your life than waste other's precious time.

Troll thread.
Either its a troll thread, or TC is from an alternate dimension where the Terminator universe takes place.
Which actually doesn't make sense since its 2012 and the world is pretty much an apocalyptic hellhole now.
