Help upgrading pc

Your Processor and Graphics cards are very weak in today's standard. You have a 1st Genration Intel Core series (Nehalem architecture) Processor which has reached its End of life long back and you won't be able find any Processor to be fitted in that motherboard. So unless you change the whole motherboard+processor, CPU upgrade path is closed.

Now, regarding Graphics card, at what resolution you are gonna play the games and how much you can spend? My suggestion will be a His R7 250 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.5K and a goofd PSU like Antec VP450 @ 2.6K. Anything more powerful thamn that, will be bottlenecked by the CPU.

I don't think any other upgrade is required to run GTA III . I can run it with a 512mb 8400gs on 1024X768 resolution just fine !

Yes get these:
GPU: Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 250 with Boost R7 250 2GB DDR3 2 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com
PSU:Antec VP450P I 450 Watts PSU - Antec: Flipkart.com

Hd 7750 GDDR5 is somewhat better than r7 250(384 stream processors version) and can be found for just a little more.
