    He offered it to me for 175euro, I forgot to add that in in OP. Is that a fair price?

    Yes, it should play them "OK" but not "Well". It's an OK price. €150 would be a sweeter price to be honest.

    That ram is older ddr333, that CPU uses ddr400, so there is your first bottleneck, secondaly that is currently the cheapest CPU money can buyk, and the x700 is now a low end card.

    To be honest you will need to spend more than that for a PC that will play games, It will play current games on minium settings.

    I wouldnt bother buying it for games, although its a good price for those parts.......
