Hmm. Let me try some researching.

You want to play latest game like bf4 cod ghosts?

 

[Oldmanhunting]

Hmm. Let me try some researching.

He plays games like oblivian and call of duty all shooter type games - he has xp os on the computer

 

[THSNOTLEK]

You wont be able to play the newest cod with that processor very well. Those graphics cards are really good though if there Gtx 570 sli. I can make a new build using the components you already have?

 

[THSNOTLEK]

Oh the motherboard is a gtx 570 sli. Oh gosh you will need a lot more new things. Using the case you already have and dvd drive I can still put together one for you.

 

[THSNOTLEK]

I can only see you using the HDD the heatsink the case possibly the power supply the dvd drive and the card reader.

I'd think about a new build also for these reasons:

1. Not enough RAM. I've recently been upgrading a similar computer and can tell you that 2 GB is not going to cut it for ANY new games. The price of ddr2 ram is very high (just paid 80$ for 4GB and starting to regret it)

2. Video card is not going to give much (if any) performance on newer (than what you listed) games. Performance = FPS (frames per second) and resolution (like 1024x800 at best)

3. Windows XP is no longer going to be supported as of 4/2014 and also many new games require win vista/7 and up for OS

If you're like me though and are dead set to upgrade that system
I'll need you to check something for me. That asus motherboard is for AMD processors but you say you have Intel. Can you use something like CPUZ and check to make sure that is the right processor and Motherboard?
