Upgrading my Intel g33/g31 express chipset family to a better gaming pc?

[Leffigi]

My graphics card right now is a Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family and I would like to upgrade it so that I can play somewhat recent games such as Battlerite, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Starcraft 2. Here are my other specs. CPU: Pentium Dual Core E5300 2.6GHz . CPU Speed: 2.6 GHz . RAM: 4.0 GB . Please tell me if this post needs more information since I'm not sure what else to look for cause I'm not a big pc person. Thank you very much in advance.

Your going to be limited by your dual core CPU, 4 GB of RAM. If you have a suitable PSU, I would look for a used card such as a GTX 750 Ti, which would allow you to play those games and consider saving towards building a new system. If you were to upgrade the CPU, add RAM and a larger PSU, you would be well on your way to building a new system that would perform much better.

Oh thanks for the reply but how exactly do I check if my PSU is compatible with the GTX 750 Ti?

You need a minimum of 300 watts, and if the graphics card has a 6 pin PCIe connector, you will have to have one of those. If your PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PSU, then be sure to get one of the 750 Ti's that don't require it. Some do, some don't.
