My current pc is something like this:
CPU: Amd Athlon 2 x2 B24 3.0ghz
Ram: 8GB DDR3 (4x 2GB)
Motherboard: HP 3047-h
GPU: GeForce 210 1GB DDR3

How much or what can i do to upgrade this pc for gaming? I bought this used pc a while ago and its had around 5-6 years of use. The gpu is actually brand new because it was by the person i bought it from (but its an awfull gpu anyways). So what exactly can i do to get this pc to play a few games with proper fps on my monitor's resolution 1920x1080, i dont want max settings i just want them to be playable and not hurt my eyes. Im hoping for something under the price of 200$ if possible, but ill take any suggestions. Games i mostly play are: League of legends and CS:GO (on like 240p) seeing as thats all it can currently run. Looking to play stuff like PUBG (possibly), Overwatch and maybe get to play CS:GO properly.

Honestly you'd probably be better off with a new pc, either intel or ryzen. There's not much you're going to do for that system to really improve it for $200 or less. I'd save the money and keep saving, if you can play the games you mentioned then continue to enjoy them with the system you have. Putting more money into that pc is that much less you'll have to put toward a new pc.

The gpu is really underpowered and the newer ryzen and even intel 2c/4t pentiums or i3's would be a vast improvement over that cpu but that means a new cpu, motherboard, ddr4 ram and a gpu - possibly a new psu as well without knowing what power supply you have. There are different price ranges but 'cheap' and 'gaming pc' don't really go hand in hand when...

A decent lower/mid range gpu alone will likely cost nearly that much.
