Aldan is right. You're approaching or have past the end of your systems modern gaming life. That's not to say its useless. It would make a nice HTPC or server.

You'll likely be able to reuse a few components but a new MB, CPU and RAM is the way to go.

If you can get the C2D super cheap then why not. Before you make your purchase evaluate what the C2D costs vs a more modern CPUs performance at that price point. I suspect you could get an A series & MB for less than the C2D and have better performance for gaming and compute.
