    Looking for a cheap upgrade

    Hello!

    So my computer is starting to get way out of date and can't run new games that come out. It can play WoW and LoL perfectly but i got this new game called 'cube world' which is similar to Minecraft and it turned out to have poor frame rates, so i realized it would of been my computer. It is really old and has a Nvidia Gforce G210 which isn't that good.

    Now i am saving for a new computer as i speak but it's going to take a while. But in the meantime i was wondering what i could do to upgrade my current PC to run games a bit more smoothly while i wait for my next computer.

    I don't want to spend heaps at all.. Nothing over 100USD..

    There are some cheap GPUs on Trademe (NZ version of Ebay) that i could get but i don't know which one and i don't really know if a GPU will fix it.


    Any ideas on what i should do? I still have like 3months till next computer so i just want a little upgrade for this one.


    GPU: Gforce G210
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4

    For only three months I'd say don't even bother.. But if you must, maybe something like an ATI 6670, or 7750. Every dollar spent is a dollar out of your new system's budget.
