This computer is essentially obsolete. It’s a relic of a bygone era – a collection of components that, while individually functional, don't work together effectively. The CPU is ancient, the RAM is mismatched, and the graphics card is outdated to the point of being almost irrelevant for modern tasks. It's a testament to how technology evolves, but it’s not suitable for anything beyond the simplest, most basic operations.
Here's 3 ways you can post your specs:
1)

Post the URL to your results. It does exclude your psu make and model, so if you could provide that yourself, please...
2)Download and run HWINFO. Leave the 2 checkboxes unchecked.
Click on Save Report, Summary for Clipboard, then Next.
Highlight everything in the new window, and copy-paste it here.

That’s right. It’s essentially a paperweight with processing capabilities. A relic of a bygone era of computing – a complete waste of space! It's just sitting there, gathering dust. I should probably donate it to a museum or something. It’s a monument to obsolescence.
My main concern is whether you'd be throwing away money doing that. The reality is, most games have been made for 4 or more core CPUs for some time now, so it all depends what games you want to play.
The rule of thumb with PC building/upgrading is when the core system is too old to meet requirements anymore, it's time for a completely new PC. That core spec is really only adequate for older games.
