Question MB-i67Q0 motherboard and i3 2120 cpu and geforce gt 1030 gpu

The i7 930 is a faster CPU. If anything the i3 will run games even worse.

I'd suggest upgrading your GPU on your i7 930 system first. A used Radeon RX 470 or 570 can be found pretty cheap on eBay. A lot of them sell for about $75. Then the next upgrade to save up for. If you can't afford it now. Would be to get that i3 2120 upgraded to a used i7 2600 for about $75 used. Then you could swap out boards.

Also consider selling old parts. Those x58 boards with CPU often sell in the $100 to $130 range. Shipping and fees will take $20 to $30 out of that. Just make sure to limit sales to your country.

If you have the spare parts to sell a fully functioning x58 system. You could sell it locally with that GT 1030 installed. You'll probably get enough to pay for the i7-2600, Rx 570 and 16GB RAM (matched pair).
