Is it possible to game with a LGA 775 cpu

[Lonetrout]

I have a few old pc's a laying around most of them with lga 775 boards and ddr2 what would i have to do to do moderate modern gaming like titanfall. I will probably put a gtx 750ti on this build.

I don't have much experience with DDR2, but given the huge jump in performance between DDR2 and DDR3 which the game is intended to run at, I'd say that the CPU and RAM would probably be a huge bottleneck for the graphics card. If its the old pentium CPUs running on a 775 mobo with DDR2 you're screwed out of the gate. Some of the Q series cards run well though.
If you're going to upgrade on a budget go for a cheap skylake board and an i3 6100. Gives great performance for the money. If you can pay a little more get the i5 6500.

Possible? Yes. Pleasant? Maybe, if you have a Core2Quad Q9650 or better on it.

If you have a Pentium 4 or Pentium D, forget it.

got a q6600 paired with a r9-270 and 4 gb ddr 2 ram and the kids game on it all the time. shooters are their fav and it has no problem handling 1080p at mostly high settings but newest games drop em a bit.

plenty of life left in those c2q cpu's but the lower quality ones might struggle.

I have a Core 2 Quad Q9550 OC'd @ 3.6ghz with 8gb 800mhz DDR2 and a Radeon 6870 and can run Diablo 3 on medium-high settings. Titanfall would likely have to have much lower settings, but with a C2Q with a good OC on it, I'd think it would run. As mentioned above, I doubt a Pentium 4, Pentium D or even a C2D would fare very well.

I wasn't thinking of it as an upgrade more of an experiment more or less i game on an i5 4690k and a gtx760 right now
