I need help with upgrading

[Cody_Wilson]

So I have a non-gaming PC from 2008. I have been gaming (barely) on it but I'm looking to actually be able to have more than 12 FPS. I currently have a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU and a Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset. Sorry if that looks weird I copied it directly from my computer. So anyways I can't game with those and I'm looking to upgrade to a EVGA GeForce 210 Passive 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card. Again sorry for the whole thing that's what Amazon said. For my processor I'm looking to upgrade to a Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q8400 2.66ghz 1333mhz 4mb Lga775 Cpu Power Consumption 95 W. Each of these are around 40 each so before I buy I want to know I am upgrading. I have no idea how good my these new one are compared to my old ones. Thank you for the help

Download and run Speccy which will tell you what you have exactly. You already have a quad core, so likely using another isn't going to do much for you. The GT 210 is totally worthless for gaming. If you have a 300 watt PSU or larger, get a GTX 750 Ti. This will give you the best gaming upgrade for your money. Spending any more on your system probably isn't worth it due to it's age.
