Well Pentium processors are pretty bleh. Personally, I wouldn't trust gaming on anything other than an i3 or better (lol). See how it goes but eh, processor isn't ideal now is it.

Most 2010 games require atleast pentium 4+

How much are those?

your current CPU is too weak to not bottleneck a new GPU. you will not get a decent case + decent GPU + decent PSU for $200. you should save money and buy an entirely new computer. it doesn't matter if you don't want to play "modern" games, you said you wanted to play 2010 games which some are still fairly demanding.

An i3 desktop processor will set you back $120 - $150 USD on Newegg.

I had an i3-330M in my laptop, 2.40GHz, and it was very capable. Great performance for general computing. Plays Blockland and Minecraft perfectly. Garrys Mod, Half Life 2, no problem with Steam games. Definitely a world away from the Pentium, worth it.

its hard to buy cheap large size cases. like cheaper then 60 bucks. if they even exist. and then 60 dollar ones are pretty low end stuffty. i require fancy fans and a lower psu mount.

and you DO want a large one normally.

My shopping cart:


Rosewill CHALLENGER-U3 Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ,comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top ... Item #: N82E16811147060Return Policy: Standard Return Policy
-$5.00 Instant


$64.99

Rosewill RHTS-11004 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headphone Item #: N82E16826193067Return Policy: Standard Return Policy
-$20.00 Instant
-$14.99 Saving

$0.00 (complimentary)

MSI R6570-MD1G/LP Radeon HD 6570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card Item #: N82E16814127611Return Policy: VGA Standard Return Policy
$10.00 Mail-in Rebate Card

$54.99


CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

$44.99

Total: $164.97

a 6570 is not a good card even for 2010 games and the corsair psu is somewhat overpriced for what it is without a sale

that card has almost 3 times the power of the 6570 and it fits the budget without the $30 MIR
plus you get a free game

Can I ask first off why you're in a rush to get new computer parts?
Why not save your money to get actual decent parts, rather than blowing money on parts that will have to be replaced in 2 - 3 years that you will get none of your investment back.
