Quite a while ago, I built a computer to just run emulators. It was my first build, a little to pricey in retrospect, but it was my first build. Lately I have noticed their are a couple of Steam games I would like to try out, but don't really want to spend the money on a whole gaming set up. I am so far content with my consoles. Pretty much I would like to know if I could maybe beef up my old build in order to play some games. It currently just has integrated graphics, and I figured the right graphics card might be enough. All I want to play currently are the original fallouts (1 and 2) and maybe some of the Sonic Adventure games and some other little things. Here is my current build. (Bear in mind I did this awhile ago, I just wanted to see if I could get some more use out of this machine)

If their is now way to make this work, thats cool, I was just curious to see if I could try some games on PC before I commit to build a dedicated one. Any way to make this play games without breaking the bank would be great under 300 dollars! Thanks for any help!
