Not sure what's causing fps drop

[ramshack]

So I came into possession of two office pc's recently, both with clean copies of windows 7 running on them. I have stripped one of its ram and hard drive and installed those into the other. I recently purchased a GTX 1050 ti zotac mini since that was the only graphics card that a) fit in the case with the giant heat-sink that's already in there, and b) could power itself off the motherboard itself. Foolishly thinking that I would be able to play anything with decent graphics, I recently found that league of legends stutters and floats anywhere between 40 to 20 fps. Of all the games I expected to not work on my computer, I wasn't expecting this. I tested other games as well. Saints Row IV works fine, however Fez does not. This seemingly random selection of games that work and games that don't continued as I downloaded and tested them. I know now that it's probably some of the older components causing the issue, but the problem is I'm not sure which one? The ram? The CPU? I was hoping you all could look at the specs and tell me. I appreciate any and all respectful input.

 

Model: HP Compaq 6000 Pro MT PC

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16 GHz  3.17 GHz

Installed Memory: 8GB (this is DDR2, not sure if that matters or not, came with the computers)

OS: Windos 7 Professional 64-bit

PSU: HP 320W (also came with the computer, I plan on replacing this with a better power supply soon)

GPU: GTX 1050 ti Zotac Mini 4gb

Bios ver: 786G2 v01.09

 

I am by no means an expert in the slightest, so I don't know what is a red flag as far as performance goes. Thank you all for your time.

It's being bottlenecked by the CPU

Do you know how I can check to see what CPUs I can upgrade into that won't bottleneck my graphics card?
