I have a Intel Core2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz with a mother board gigabyte G31.
and a power supply of cooler master 500W and a lower end graphic card AMD 5450 HD 2GB DDR3.

Some, but overall your gaming experience will be much better than that of the HD 5450.

When you can afford it, upgrade your whole platform.

- CPU
- Motherboard
- RAM (must be compatible)
- PSU (yours is probably old)
- SSD
- Monitor
- Mouse and keyboard!

I'm pushing my HD 7850 to 100% with an Athlon 760K FM2 rig, about as budget as you can be. My build log is here:

I was seriously budget constrained on this last build, so I got the most value parts I could and overclocked them to the heavens.
