+Logeshwaran Too many things working against this upgrade.

"Maybe" a GTX 750 Ti will work with a 250 power supply but you've edited it to 230; It was very questionable even at 250 watts. If the motherboard's BIOS and chipset can be updated to work nicely with that graphics card. If you upgrade the RAM to at least 8 GB of DDR2, which looking at the specs it can't. Reading the specs sheet, memory is either maxed out at 2 GB total or 2 GB per each of the two slots (http://ark.intel.com/products/50369/Intel-Desktop-Board-D945GCNL).

On top of that the CPU is only dual core without the aid of hyperthreading, and it's only 2.0 GHz. By comparison, if it were a core 2 quad q9650 @ 3.0 ghz; that would be an entirely different story. Your CPU is maybe 25% of the performance of a skylake i3-6100.

You'd be better off building a new budget PC for $500 - $600, not including a display and a copy of Windows.

For the best, just buy a new one. your spec does not match gaming nowadays...

Here's an example of a budget build, although I personally think it's decent performance for the money:

* Rule of thumb for a gaming computer is that the graphics card should represent 25% - 40% of the total budget. The GTX 1060 in this build represents 45% which is OP, but I couldn't help myself. It's such a great card.
