I wanna be able to play video games and decent setting (fair-good) and thinking about buying Intel Core i3 3240, I heard it may not fit my pc. Got an AMD Athlon(tm) Dual-core pocessor 2.7 GHz (believe from 2005). 32bit. It's a Medion pc but i'm not sure if i even should buy a processor or graphic card.
help me with my processor/graphic card problem please

I'm not sure if I can awnser that question because all I can find is : Input max : AC 230V - 240V ~ 5A 50Hz. Also I forgot to say (not even sure if it is usefull) but it originally was a pc with windows vista but we put windows 7 on it.

Need to know wattage and amps on the 12v rail/s. Should be a label on the power supply with this info when you open the case and look inside.

You might have to remove the screws from the power supply holding it in place in your case and look at the other sides.
I opened my PC for the third time now 
, I tried to find out how to get the power supply out of it's place but whitout succes. All I could find on the power supply were codes: P/N <Code>, S/N <Code>, P/S <Code>. I'm not sure if that's helpfull to you and if you need to know any of these codes.

You may want to look into holding off on upgrading the videocard and replacing the whole PC.

How to remove a power supply
In order to just take a look at the power specs sticker, you may not be required to disconnect any power connections inside your computer.

Okay I finally did it. This is all I could read of the label, only I left out the information about every single colored cable.
AC Input:230-240V, 4A, 50-60Hz.
DC Output: 350W
(+3.3V & +5V = 103W max.)
(+12V1 & +12V2 = 300W max.).
So I'm looking for a graphic card between 100-150 euros on which I can play games at a decent FPS at fair-good settings.
Hope this information is usefull
And BTW Thx for helping me so far.

It will fit, but you will hit a big bottleneck on your hardware, it won't make much difference to be honest.
You really need to investigate replacing your whole hardware. That system may be running DDR2, not 3, and the 32 bit version of Windows is going to limit your performance greatly.
