What games can I run with this low-budget setup?

[ChaseUC]

So, I decided to buy myself a new PC after owning a crappy 1.8 GHz CPU and 945 GMA GPU no-named PC. This is the best that I managed to find for my budget and I was wondering what games could I run with this thing. I understand that these are kinda crappy, but I cannot change any parts right now (I barely managed to afford this thing) so this is the PC that I'm gonna have to deal with for the next several years.

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core G3220 Haswell (2x3,0 GHz)
Motherboard: Asus H81M-K Haswell
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 (I can upgrade this to 5 GB because I have a 1 GB DDR3 RAM stick in my house)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD7750 OC edition, 1 GB, DDR5, 128 bit, PCI-ex 3.0, DirectX 11+
PSU: 500W
OS: Windows 7 64 bit


Also, I have a 1440x900 monitor, so I really don't care about playing games at Full HD (which I can't), 720p is good enough for me.

After some Googling, I realized that the GPU isn't quite a powerhouse (nor is the CPU). Some games that I was planning on playing are:

Skyrim (which can run on my this thing apparently)
Far Cry 2 or even Far Cry 3 (if the GPU can handle it)
Oblivion
Battlefield 3 (not sure about this one at all) and BF: Bad Company 2
Minecraft

Does anyone know of any other games that I could try playing on this computer? I'm completely fine with lowering the graphics settings to maybe low/medium or a mix between them as long as the FPS is good (around 40 FPS is playable for me personally).

Even older games are great, like CoD 2/CoD WaW/MW2/MW3, older Battlefield games, Assasins Creed, etc. Basically games that I could not play on my previous rig that had a Intel GMA 950 integrated GPU lol.

Since none of those games are brand spanking new, I don't think you'll have any issues running them at nearly full settings, FC3 being the one exception.
But since you already have the system you should be able to just go off this: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Not surprised about FC3 to be honest, I heard that the game is very demanding on systems.

Also, I don't have this rig yet, it's gonna arrive tomorrow, but I'll still give System Requirements Lab a try, even though from my experience it used to be quite inaccurate.

Thanks for the reply! 😀

It is fairly inaccurate, but it saves me time of having to go over everything for you individually.
Only having 1Gb of Vram will be fairly hindering in newer games, watchdogs, gta5, ect but for your older ones, skyrim, oblivion, minecraft, it won't be an issue. (as long as you don't go crazy with skyrim mods)

What you have is just under "entry level" for a gaming computer, but playing at a lower resolution will help you somewhat as well.
