I know nothing about Computers. My dad gifted me a Dell Inspiron N5040 in 2012. Now my laptop can't play new games. Integrated

What is your budget?

 

[BetaGameTester]

I think I messed up the detail part. :/ Newbie things.
I saved 340 $ and can save up to 400 $. I would like everyone to focus on 340 $ budget first. You guys are geniuses. You can come up with combination. If not, I'll gladly and humbly accept 400 $ suggestions. I know both of these budgets aren't enough but I'm not an ultra freak.
Thank you.

With an OS purchase, youll be at $240-300 for a complete PC. Save more money.

What is your budget?

I'm prioritizing 340 $ but it can go up to 400 $ if there's nothing in there for 340.

Ultra cheap rig, that can play basically all games today on medium/high settings.
Note you need windows, monitor, mouse, keyboard and soundsystem (speakers/headphones).

Sorry, i'm an idiot. Could you kindly elaborate that? You mean add another 300 $ to make it 600 $ ?

Oh, you meant to say I could play games in a decent matter in around 300 $ ?

I am afraid I can´t get much clearer than I already did.

What games are you going to play?

 

[BetaGameTester]

No, thank you. I re-read the " save more " part.

 

[BetaGameTester]

Anything new but to be very honest, Dota 2 which doesn't ask for much but you never know about the change of mood.

I want to ask another question. This will sound stupid. It most probably is. What if I buy a Core 2 Quad 2.40 GHz, 8 GB RAM with a GTX 750 TI? Will it run stuff in a smooth manner? Finding an old MOBI isn't an issue if that's the only issue existing.

This can´t play newer games ... there is no dedicated graphics card. You´ll be stuck to older games and games that have virtually no graphics demand.
