Sorry, but you WILL have to upgrade the PSU if you want a graphics card. Also your system has reached it's age. The processor is 10 years old, and it won't run any new games, unfortunately. Not only new games, but also games released in the past 5 years.

No it cannot. Tell us your budget. You need at least 300W QUALITY PSU. Or 500W any PSU, but I wouldn't buy that.

So once again, we cannot help unless you tell us how much you're willing to spend.

Where abouts can i get a 300W psu compatible with my PC

spend 50 on the PSU

40 on the graphics card

You could upgrade your CPU too but you don't need to , to play counter strike.


Are you going to play the new counter strike game coming out soon ?
