My honest advice; if you want 'play modern games' save up and get a proper gaming spec PC - even a low end budget one. There's no point in throwing good money after bad upgrading what you have, it's just too old and outdated.

When I first got into computers, its because I inherited an old office Dell desktop from my Dad's friend back in 2008. It had a dual core CPU, 4GB of RAM and this old GT graphics card, so very similar to what you have now.

Eventually after playing WoW on it for a few months, I wanted to get a new graphics card. I went out and bought an AMD 5670. Long story short, it wouldnt work. The PSU was too bad, the case too small and a million other things just ruined the experience for me.

After lots of frustration and disappointment, I finally concluded I would save for a proper gaming PC instead of throwing good money at this old work station and I NEVER looked back.

Trust me, the best decision you can make is to try and sell what you currently have and save to either build a gaming spec PC from scratch (recommended) or buy a pre-built one.

Hello... The GTX750 is a Low wattage GPU with good performance and would fit your MB and case... and a upgrade for what you own now.
It is typical for me to upgrade my GPU 3x's per MB/CPU platform.

As stated above... the next upgrade path would be CPU, MB, memory... if your case size is STD MATX or ATX, then a better PS for it.

Which cq3000 model you have? CPU? MEMORY?
