I bought a dell optiplex 960, and put an Nvidiyer Gt730 in it, and used it for games since this summer. It does well on older games, but barely runs newer games, like The Crew. I want to upgrade the gpu, but I can't use a dual slot gpu, and there aren't many good single slot gpus out there. But, my system is aging, and though it's Intel E8500 Dual Core CPU fares well on most games, its graphics card is killing me. If I were to get a dual slot gpu, I'd need to upgrade the case, or motherboard, being its running on ancient lga 775 architecture, I can't find any motherboards out there either. So it leaves me here, sitting and wondering if there is a way out of this. Being I'm on a low budget, I'll have to wait some time to get a new PC. What should I do, should I upgrade the gpu, or get a new PC. For the gpu, my budget is around 100-130 dollars.
Upgrade or buy a new system?

If you opt to upgrade the graphics card, here is a single slot, low profile GTX 750 Ti (link below). You could add that card and make sure you're upgraded to 8 GB of RAM, if you aren't already. I feel like that's the extent of upgrades that you can do on that system.
