    Can my current PC be improved for gaming?


    This PC is a generic basic junk-box but it's all I got. finally I've got around to playing PC games and it running on a 1/2 star rating. Can I buy RAM or change graphics card etc to boost it a bit? Buying a new gaming PC is beyond my budget for now.

    System specs are as per the spec list below.

    I hated win 8 so much on a laptop I bought, could not even make anything open. Horrible unresponsive squares. I slide it under the bed and there it lies until this day unused.

    What benefit will win10 give to my PC performance. sorry but I'm a doubter on that.

    It depends on your budget. If you can find a Core 2 Quad cheap, a GTX 1050Ti is also a good choice. I got a I7 4790K from a friend and bought a GTX 1050Ti. I am gonna use this system until i have earned some money to buy and build my own gaming system.

    Its hard to find Socket 775 CPU:s nowadays. If you want to find a Core 2 Quad, ebay is the only option.

    Have you considered going with a more light-weight OS than Windows? I have found that Linux Lite is a very light-weight system for my old computer -- my old computer runs well with Linux Lite 32-bit. You can create a Linux Lite DVD and boot to the DVD, to see how it runs on your computer -- doing this would not install anything on your computer, so it is a safe way to test Linux Lite with your computer.
