Possibly a new graphics card and definitely more RAM. Your processor might not look as good as 3.2 Celerons, but AMD's CPU's are a shitload more efficient and reliable. Computer seems good other than that, just need some more RAM, and if you still can't play games after upgrading your RAM, go check out a new graphics card. But if you buy a new graphics card make sure its PCI-Express, but more importantly make sure your motherboard has a PCI-Express slot.
