Old PC need upgrade. what are the best upgrade on my PC(old old PC) :p

I used my PC on gaming from way way back.....

processor = Pentium D (3.0 Ghz)
Mobo = ASUS P5GC-MX/1333
GPU = NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT
RAM = 2GB DDR2 800mhz

Hoping for your insights and advise on what can I purchase for upgrade and can be use on gaming.(I.e. League of Legends, DOTA2, CS:GO and on..... online specially)
 
From What I can tell your motherboard will not support quad core CPUs. You could upgrade from the Pentium D to a Core2 Duo such as the E8600.

That would double your processing performance.

To be honest though, for gaming you need at least a quad core or new dual core machine. Even the older online games are upgrading to the point of needing better hardware than a Core2 machine provides.

For graphics you might could get a newer mid ranged card for little to nothing (such as a GTX 750 or 950). I'm not an AMD fan so I don't know the equivalent AMD cards. With a GTX 750 you are looking at a massive boost over a 9500 GT.

Thanks a lot bro!
that's also what I think of my old rig, but can't decide which processor, GPU, or Mobo will I buy for a gaming PC,
I think I want a mid gaming PC but I don't know how much will it cost.....
 
If it's mainly for MOBA & CS:GO, I suggest a Pentium G4560 & GTX 1050 (even the GT 1030 could be enough if you don't aim ultra settings). Add 8Go for the RAM
