Sorry but none, you'll need a completely new PC.

if I buy a graphics card then can I run popular games?

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Nope, you'll need more RAM as well. With more RAM and a new GPU, you might be able to play some of the less intensive games, but it might be that your power supply can't handle a graphics card. That said, what is your power supply?

Gourab · Jun 23, 2014

I dont know

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Open up the case, and check what it says on the side of the power supply (the thing your power cord is attached to).

1700$

tell me if your budget is lower so I can make you a good build for your budget

I got it .it says ATX P4 power supply JIL-2414G(with 20+4 pin).

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Yeah, you'll probably need a new PSU. What motherboard are you using? http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000504.htm

Do you know the model number of your pc? At the very least you will need new processor, RAM, and video card. You prob need new power supply too.

Like others have said though It might be better to just build new if you can.

I am using ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS.

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Gourab :

In that case, a new PC would be a good idea; It only supports DDR2 memory, making buying new RAM pointless since it can't be reused if you ever upgrade the motherboard,

Gourab · Jun 23, 2014

so I cant play good games like cod mw2.

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Well you could play MW2 since it runs on pretty much anything, but any newer games like BF4 (etc) will cause issues.

Gourab · Jun 23, 2014

so if I buy a graphics card so can I play not best but better game?

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Yes, you could play older games like MW2 if you bought a GPU.

Gourab · Jun 23, 2014

what was suitable for my.pc?

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

Budget (in your local currency)?

Gourab · Jun 23, 2014

within 4000 rupees.

Eduello · Jun 23, 2014

A bit over the budget, but should do the job well enough: http://www.flipkart.com/gainward-nvidia-2gb-ddr3-gt630-2-gb-graphics-card/p/itmddrzz5er5qabk?pid=GRCDDRZZ5ER5QABK&srno=b_40&ref=859d0502-c86d-4b3c-9515-ef9e0775003d
