The #1 requirement for PC games is a good video card.

Luckily, your PC has a PCI-Express x16 slot (many store-bought PCs do not). 

Good article on video cards that's typically updated monthly:

Maybe more Ram

That's non productive and not helping.

Your RAM is fine for any game out there, that I know of.

You need to tell us what games you intend to play so we can get an idea of the level of performance required.

Well I tend to play any game for pc like left4dead, combat arms, or mmorpgs like flyff and rose online. But nothing crazy like crysis. I know how crysis requires good stuff to play that well

Left4dead requirements

Minimum:

    * Supported OS: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Vista64
    * Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
    * Memory: 1 GB
    * Graphics: 128 MB, Shader model 2.0, ATI 9600, NVidia 6600 or better
    * Hard Drive: At least 7.5 GB of free space
    * Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

Recommended:

    * Supported OS: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Vista64
    * Processor: Intel core 2 duo 2.4GHz
    * Memory: 1 GB
    * Graphics: Shader model 3.0, NVidia 7600, ATI X1600 or better


GPU's are certainly not my forte but that will give others something to work on. I will keep looking for you.
It would seem your CPU is borderline.

@ddragon521.

Onboard video + games = A Very Bad Thing.

Refer to the link I gave you earlier for video card recommendations...

Maybe more Ram

 

More RAM won't help in 32-bit Vista when ddragon521 already has close to 3 GB of RAM...
