I wanna keep my old computer just to give to my little brother so he won't have to touch mines, but its slow when it comes to gaming. He really not a hard core gamer like me but he still play small games like minecraft runescape LOL Smite and etc but laggs real bad I would like to at less put a better graphic card in the PC to make him lagg a little less and enjoy hes games without so much laggs.

 

The PC is a gateway SX2110G-UW24.

 

Doesn't have to be a good graphic card no more then $100 but if I have to buy a new power supply for him i will, big bro gotta look out for little bro.

Any answer is welcome please help.

Go with something like a GTX 750ti which would draw the power from the PCI slot and require no external power. This will be able to power most games.

Your Power Supply is only 220w in that system so highly unlikely. With it being a Gateway PC, it is a proprietary PSU, so you will not be able to replace it with any standard PSU as it will likely not fit.
