Could need some help

[TypicalOriginalK]

Hello guys.I've got a Intel Core2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz with Nvidia Geforce 210 video card.I'm just wondering what games can I play? Thanks in advance

It will have to be older and less graphical games. You will also have to keep the graphics settings low. Games which are turn based will be less of a problem. A great game which is currently free on the humble store is Civilization 3 complete.

It is turn based and so your system should run it fine.

Hmmmm should I upgrade my processor or video card? Or that would lead into changing all the PC parts?

You'll eventually want a completely new PC. That one is pretty old. You could consider putting a 1050ti graphics card in it, as that is the fastest video card that does not need extra power (from the powersupply). IF you do this, some more graphical games will play, but that video card would be bottlenecked by the CPU.

My advice, would be to save up until you have around $1000 and get a new PC.

How about I buy a pre built gaming Pc and upgrade processor and video card by myself? THanks for your advice

What would be your budget?

About 300£ I guess

This is a good budget machine, but as bjornl said, you'd be better off saving some money for something higher end, just
£150 more would already get you a Ryzen 3 with a gtx 1050 ti.

I don't know the UK market, but here that would go a lot further on the used market than new. If possible, consider saving up a bit longer as even used, this PC is short on ram and still slightly over budget.

If you buy used then look for lga 1155 4 core Xeons (avoid Asus motherboards of that time) and AMD gpus (avoid Nvidias 600 and 700 series) also buy your psu new since that's the one thing you don't want to cheap out on.
