I have a really, REALLY old pc and I'm already thinking of buying another one. I don't think I will really use it for games, except one game, TTYD. So, what minimum and recommended requeriments do I need to run it smoothly?
It's a light-weight game. I bet it would run well on a 2.5GHz dual core
Keep in mind that the minimum GPU requirement is Intel HD 3000 . If your integrated GPU (iGPU) is slower than that then no matter how fast your CPU is , you still have slowdown even with lowest resolution
If your budget is somewhere around $500 then you could buy
Alienware Alpha , it will run most game full speed at 1080p
Well, thanks a lot for the help, but... Those 2 options are really expensive to me, guess I'll have to stick with replaying Paper Mario 64. Or Is there a way to change the GPU in this old pc? I don't really know a lot about computers, sorry if I'm being annoying.
Buy a graphic card , sth like a GTX 750 (non-ti) should be good . Your PC doesn't have a graphic card
Your GPU (G41 chipset) is nothing but a chip which is soldered to your motherboard . Therefore , no way you can replace it
GTX 750 doesn't have a single (6pin/8pin) connector and it does not require a good PSU either . All you have to do is just plug it to your mobo then you're good to go
Oh, I misread your specs and thought it was a laptop.
Yes, buy a dedicated GPU like the GTX 750.
You can also buy an upgraded CPU, like the E5800, which is a dual core CPU running at 3.20 GHz, which will be a slight speed up for you. Nothing super dramatic, but may help get you from 95 to 100 percent speed in a game. You can get one from eBay for like under $10

Or buy a new motherboard and a 6th gen i3 for like $200 or so and put it in your case if it supports it, get some more ram for $40-$70, and maybe a new hard drive or SSD.
Could you send me a non-ti gtx link? I'm only finding ti ones(Altought I don't even know what that is, I'm not good with pc) Sorry if I'm being annoying.
Wel... I don't know what PSU is... I'm really bad at this, sorry.
