You can maybe still run some games on minimum settings but your system is not that great for the newest games anymore.

There is no DDR5. There is GDDR5, which is a DDR3 derivative. GDDR5 is physically connected on your graphics card and cannot be removed. Even if you could weld system ram on a graphics card, it would not work better in any circumstances.

If your graphics card is on your motherboard, then it borrows system RAM so the graphics card can use it. It seems as yours is a separate card though. If the card has any dedicated memory (the 2GB you mention), allocating more system ram will only slow it down.

Sorry man, those are both weak GPU and CPU for todays AAA titles.
Gaining more FPS with upgrade depends on what you want to play though.
And last answer is: you can't convert system memory to video memory because that is not integrated graphic card.
