You could run it. Not smoothly, not above 15 FPS on low.

Just sell it part by part, surely someone will want them just fairly price it out for profit. you could turn $20, into $200 total.

Dude the the ram alone is $20 lmao.
I'd say you got a good comp but the newer end games you cannot run. And the older games you might still run into issues with.

If you plan on upgrading, save up because if you replace the motherboard you'll have to replace 2-3 other components (CPU, RAM, and possibly the GPU)

The RAM alone, is over $60 for new kits. DDR2 is way outdated and hard to come by in non ECC(cheaper server RAM that isn't support on most boards.) form.

He can still game, just not good, even adding a old 9800GT/GTS 250 could work for this case.. no modern AAA other then dx9//10 support. But no point in ordering that or even bothering due to the fact that it is that far out of date.
