ok, i recommend buying a whole new pc... these parts are old and the newer things almost use nothing of it anymore...

Agreed

Your computer will barely meet the min requirements for game no matter what you do to it other than replacing everything. If you max out its potential now, it might last you a year in gaming with low settings, then you'll be completely screwed for anything new and have wasted all that money, while you could just get a new computer now.

That's what sucks about technology, is that its constantly being update weekly,if not daily

that computer is probably 8 yrs old, the processor is from 03, wouldn't call that weekly. And phenom II's and core 2 duos which are ~4 yrs old are still great for gaming, and a 8800 series which is 6 years old will still play any game out with decent settings.
