You will need a new motherboard, preferable a 970 or 990FX board for the 8350, and DDR3 ram.

Yeah, everything would be fine. Most current motherboards will support the 2GB RAM and your GPU as well. I presume this is not for gaming right? :)

You will most likely need new RAM too as most Core2 systems have DDR2 RAM instead of modern DDR3.

Also what graphics card do you have?
Since thats what matters more when gaming.

No, 2GB of RAM or a better AMD CPU will not help you, you need a better graphics card, that thing is ancient and even when it was new, it was a very bad card.

In short, get a new graphics card BEFORE you consider a new CPU.

If You are going to be gaming, get a new GPU. Even an old 9800gt will run circles around the 210. A Radeon r7 260X or Nvidia equivalent will get you good gaming for $110 -$120.

Yeah the Geforce 210 is hopeless. Look at the GTX 750 Ti on a low budget.
