Max RAM you can have (according to the website) is 4GB, so already you are not going to get much.

On the power supply you could run a gtx 1050 maybe. But even then your ram and cpu would hold you back.

 

Recommendation: Buy a new (or build) computer.

I only have a budget of around 250£ tho.

Tbh a Q6600 is the only upgrade that would probably be possible.

I mean you can easily get a 6950 or something like that in your budget but then the PSU would likely blow up, which isn't ideal...

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I'm not looking to play the newest titles by the way. I'll play cs go, l4d2, stalker call of pripyat maybe something a little more demanding than that but not much. I do want 1080p and somewhat stable 60fps tho.
