my friend gifted me his old pc he bought in march 2010

it's specs are:

Intel dg43nb motherboard
Intel core 2 quad q8400 2.66 GHz
nvidia GeForce 9400 gt
kingston 4 gb(2x2gb) DDR 2 ram
Samsung b1930 18.5 inch monitor
iball desking cherry keyboard and mouse
2 DVD writers- one Sony and one LG
seagate 500 gb hdd

my question is: is this pc good for playing games like saints row the third, GTA 4, tomb raider, dishonored etc. at medium settings?

tell me the upgrades I want to do to this pc

I don't have the money to buy a new gaming pc

Low settings would be possible.

It will do ok IF you upgrade that video card.

The Geforce 9400 is pretty low end.

First we need your PSU wattage and how much you are willing to spend.

my PSU is 450 w

I want a gpu between 50 dollars to 100 dollars

Ok.
Then I would go with one of these:

Radeon 7750
Radeon 6670
Geforce GTX650

with the 7750 being the best choice IMO while the 6670 is cheapest.
