This is definitely not an ideal setup for gaming.

Choose your game. Civilization 2.42 is one of my top picks and should run smoothly. I use a 32-bit PC specifically for that. Adding 2GB might be beneficial. A 32-bit OS needs dedicated space for hardware, which limits room for Windows and the game.

I had Minecraft in my mind, I stopped playing it but I realize I have no other option really, since it's not a difficult game to run. It's not just about gaming in general—my computer is there to help me improve without spending money, and I'm only here for the next three days.

I would play Quake 3 Arena all day on that! Seriously, I wouldn't bother upgrading anything - it has 1/10 the CPU power of an i3 and 1/10 the GPU power of a GTX 960. There's no quick fix for that.
