    Most likely you need a new machine, even for older games that's a bit of a dinosaur of a computer.

    What games is he wanting to play? If it is just older games (or say, something like Minecraft), About 100-150 euro should cover a second hand machine twice as fast as that one and graphics capability to play older titles decently.

    If the definition of 'older' games is the last few years, you probably need an all new PC at a cost of a few hundred.
