    Anything I can do with this PC to improve its gaming performance ?
    Can play Ark Survival just about on low settings.

    Would it be worth trying to upgrade the original PSU for a better graphics card ?

    Not really, whole machine is too old. Zero point in replacing the card unless you had a stronger processor, but that socket is so old that it's not cost effective - and any upgrade would still bottleneck any modern budget card.

    My advice - sell the machine as it for €100 and buy a 2nd hand i5 based PC for €300 or so.
