• Answer:

  To be honest, you should upgrade your processor, graphics card and RAM. First, your processor (CPU): it's only single core and almost all games need at least a dual core. I have a quad core and it runs anything, however they can get expensive. Depending on how much you want to spend, dual-cores can range from $60 to a few hundred for good i5s with 3GHzs+. Graphics card (GPU): I recommend getting another NVIDIA, ideally a GTS, GTX or GT in the 200 series. I have a GTX 260 and it handles everything. Also, get a 1GB graphics card, always better than 512MB. RAM: Get as much as you can for what you can afford. The more you have, the longer your PC can run and run more demanding programs.
