Could I upgrade this PC to run a few light games such as CS:GO or Dota 2?

As you can see it is just a display adapter so I don't think any games will run sadly.

My specs are:

Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 B24 3.00GHZ
RAM: 4GB DDR3
250W PSU
Low-profile

(It is a HP Compaq 6005 Small Form Factor)
And this display adapter thing.

How could I upgrade to play games such as CS:GO, Minecraft, Dota 2 or Geometry Dash?

I wouldn't really spend more than 70 dollars.

Thanks in advance!

 
Played CS and TF2 on a Pentium 4 single core with an AMD HD 5450 videocard at 1024x768. You have a dual core so you should fare better than I did.

The GT 730 DDR5 is the least expensive of the newer cards that would suit your purposes. You might find something used, but it's tough since older cards tended to use more power. So while finding a decent low profile, and inexpensive used gaming card isn't hard, finding a decent low profile, low power, and inexpensive used gaming card is hard.

There are 3 GT 730 models. One is the lowest performer with 45W TDP.
Another ones are better. Especially the one which has GDDR5 memory is the best afaik with 25W TDP.
