Your GeForce 210 will not be able to play any recent games. The CPU is alright. Should be able to pair it up with a 7850/7790 OC or similar without CPU bottleneck unless you play a game that is CPU heavy. For $50, you won't get a 7850/7790 OC of course. The GTS 450 on ebay is the best I can find for $50. That card should be able to handle newest games in low to medium setting. When I say newest games, I mean games like Crysis 3. Now you just have to make sure your PSU can power the GTS 450.

Thank you for your advice. The PSU I bought half year ago is 550W. It was brand new however other parts were all second-hand. The mainboard doesn't have integrated graphics chip so I bought the GF 210 from the same seller. It is obvious that it cannot support some big games. Now I really want to play games on this desktop rather than my alienware 14x so I am considering to update my graphic card. What do you think is the best graphic card that my CPU can support if I could afford it?
If you get a card faster, I think your CPU won't keep up. Also, I based my recommendation on 1080p gameplay. If your screen is lower resolution, then you have to go even lower on the GPU to avoid CPU bottleneck.
I think second-hand would be cheaper.......I am sure I will change my mainboard and cpu one day and I will buy a high-end graphic card but for now I just need a normal and cheap one to play some old games such as Civilization 5 and Total War。。。。
