I would recommend saving your money and building a new system first.

[qwertywarrior]

ehh no matter what GPU u get its gonna be severely bottlenecked by that CPU

 

u might try to find a used C2Q  something like a Q6600 or higher if u found a Q8xxx or Q9xxx quad cores be sure that ur board supports FSB 333

 

now for a GPU for 150 i guess  a 750Ti

about how much do i need?

[Gilbert]

Don't even bother trying to upgrade that junk just save up and get yourself a new Pc that will last you a while.

about how much do i need?

500$(US) can get a you decent mid range system now a days

[lani100]

Something like a 270x or 750ti but to make bf4 playable you will need atleast a core2quad and 8gb of ram.

[Gilbert]

about how much do i need?

Start at around 600 for a PC that will be able to run those games on high settings with playable frame rates.

so if my cpu  will bottleneck any gpu about how much will it bottleneck a 750ti

[david cassar]

so if my cpu  will bottleneck any gpu about how much will it bottleneck a 750ti

A lot. I had that cpu and it even bottlenecked a 9600gt in some games. Get a cheap core 2 quad and an r9 270.

[rebirth_assasin]

because its really hard to save money i'm just a student and i'm just 14 years old and i think i can about $250 in a year so its gonna be a long wait

[MattDaemontools]

Why do people even recommend the 750 TI is beyond me, the R7 265 is noticeably faster.  I agree with Qwerty though, grab a used core 2 quad and a new GPU.

Grab the fastest GPU you can afford. R9 270 > R7 265 > GTX 750 Ti > R7 260X > 750 > R7 260

is amazon a trusted site when it comes to buying used items

is amazon a trusted site when it comes to buying used items

From my personal experience I can say yes, bought a used Gigabyte R9 290 and a couple of used boards off amazon. All were fantastic.

how much will it take.???......... it would be cheaper to buy an xbox or PS>

***PC MASTER RACE***  DUDE BUT its just your opinion

can't say much for pc master race if your computer is junk bro.

 

it says location is Ph can I take that you live in the same country as me? 

 

anyways moving on 250 bucks a year is kinda low but seeing you're 14 and a student then I kinda understand it.

 

I guess the best thing you can do is buy a newer gpu the gt 210 has always been a useless garbage that's only being sold to tomatoes or non techie guys.

 

pentium e2220

450 hexa+ fsp psu

geforce 210 1gb

 

your cpu would probably bottle neck any gpu we recommend but try to get something used like a 7850 or something if you can grab them at a price or anything that's better that fit's your price point.

Not possible with your cpu. Upgrade that first, then we can talk GPUs.

 

You should be able to pull it off with about 300$ if you don't mind lowering settings a little bit.

Well, I guess something like R9 250X will be ok for that rig. Anything at 100$ or above will be bottlenecked by CPU.

[R_Golden]

The CPU of your system doesn't even meet the system requirements for those games, I believe. You may just be better off saving for a new system. Or do I even dare recommend you a console.
