Help 🙁

(that will actually make a diffrence not like a 7% change)

As far as I can see, every good thing that you could afford for $150 that will make any major change will just be bottlenecked by another part in the system

Its a Dell pre-built. Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB RAM and GT210. All not helpful. You can't put a better graphics card in without putting a better power supply in as well -for over $150. And Dell in fact make them so you cannot easily change things eg having an oddball power supply with oddball connectors that any modern PSU won't have.

I think you'd be better putting your $150 towards a replacement PC.

I know this is overbudget, but it would be well worth it to save the extra money. Honestly though, you're far better off just getting a new computer.

Archgaull that does not really seem like it would help with gaming cause it does not have a GPU...
