Judging from the title, are we talking about an eMachines Computer? If so, then you will need to get an mATX Motherboard and processor. What is your budget? You will need all of the following:

That won't work if OP is running anything but Win10. No Graphics drivers for older windows versions...

It Depends on your budget.There's a lot of youtubers that do budget builds for between 250 usd-700 usd that can do moderated gaming.I went with the ryzen 5 2600 which are for me over kill at the moment as i also just play mmo's and grim dawn.It all depends on your budget.It's a great time to build pc's specially on the use market toastybros on yt actually picked up a 1070ti for 200 usd.

Okay, in my first post, I didn't take into consideration that you were running Windows 7. Have gone back and redid the list. I threw the memory in there as I don't know what you have now.

I'm mostly just to make it a bit better than it was with still using the ddr2 ram and mobo to use the amd athlon 2 type processor maybe a processor that is like a 3.1ghz (not the same processor). I'm on a tight budget at this time and mainly just want to get back online...I'm on my phome 4 now.
