Upgrading an old PC

[corymiller321]

So i got a PC from a buddy of mine, kinda old dont really know what all the components are but I know it has 8 gigs of ram. It says on the mobo "supports directx 10" and im just wondering if its even worth upgrading. Can i play new games if i dont have the up to date version of Directx?

post the info here.
also need your power supply wattage.
most games will run on older version of ms gaming engines. you just lose some of the eye candy.
if the cpu and i5 or i7 that a few years old there still good base gaming system. you just need to add a good gaming gpu if your rig is missing one.
