Hello!
I am wondering if the graphics card listed above is good enough for gaming (Minecraft, RuneScape, GTA, Skyrim, ect.)
.
I looked into it and i found that it will fit my pc because i tried it on a broken model of the pc and my ps has enough watts.

I would just like to know if this can handle basic games like the one above for a temporary graphics card (2 months at most)
I found this graphics card in my dads cabinet and he said just take it so i have it in hand and i would like to know if it good before i leave to get get my cpu.

Hell that's almost as old as the 8800. That would actually be a decent pair in terms on not bottlenecking each other. But they are still both around 10 years old. Definitely don't expect much out of modern games with that.

What CPU do you have/are planning to use?

It's likely that it'll perform worse, or about the same, than the integrated graphics of said CPU. I would recommend grabbing a cheap used card, if you can, as it will easily perform better. (maybe a 660/Ti, or a 750/Ti, or something along those lines)
