Sadly, being that your system is old, a GTX 750 Ti will be bottlenecked by your CPU.

what about without the ti as someone said it would work as it has new componant called maxwell architexture

Maxwell is just a architecture. Maxwell is great on power usage as well, but since it's a fast GPU, it'll be bottlenecked by the CPU, being older and slower.

Even with a gtx 750, it'll be bottlenecked by the CPU.

even though it is bottlenecked will it still work then when i upgrade i can then transfer it across?

how would i go about upgrading my processor then as i never really thought about that thankyou

What's your budget?

Just making sure, you can't just upgrade a new CPU sadly. You'll need a new motherboard, and new memory. My recommendation, Building a new PC would be a good choice. Depending on what's your budget, you can easily build a pc dirt cheap. It's all up to you.

Ah I didn't realise that hmm I'll have to look into a new motherboard can I reuse the parts I have or would I need to get all new things

Well, judging from the list you've provided, I need more details.

What I can get out of your CPU, is that the memory is DDR2, so you can't use that with the latest motherboards.

I don't think you can use anything in your current system really, sorry to say. Compared to todays computers, your system is generations behind.

Yer I thought it was a bit old bless it I will prob just put a slightly better graphics card in it till I look into a better board and then get different components to make my own in the future
