It's not possible. You'd bottleneck that Pentium 4 with a 9800GT even if you did have a PCIe x16 lane on your motherboard. The only GTA you can even consider running would be GTA 1&2.

It's time for a new system...

It would probably work out cheaper (and better) in the long run to just buy a new mb/cpu/ram bundle then get a new pci-e card.

Save up. Your best bet really would be one of the next gen consoles...

Can't believe they charge $70 for that motherboard. No it will not work.
