Hello, last year I built a computer for just merely $206.98. I've been able to play most games at average fps. Ex. League of legends: average of 75-95fps min. 34 max. 125. But I've recently been informed that purchasing this will turn my small cheap computer into a gaming PC. I've already got age eat PC planned out that I'm going to buy, so if this doesn't work I will just buy the brand new computer.
My specs:

Case: Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK - Mini ITX Tower / Desktop Computer Case - 250W Power Supply with Two (2) SATA Connectors and One (1) 20 + 4-Pin Connector (not sure if it will fit)

Motherboard: MSI AM1I AM1 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard (basic I know)

CPU: AMD Athlon 5350 Kabini Quad-Core 2.05 GHz Socket AM1 25W AD5350JAHMBOX Desktop Processor AMD Radeon R3

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX - OEM

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9S-4GBXL

Other RAM: HyperX FURY 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model HX318C10FR/8 (Total of 12GB)

Can this revive it??: Refurbished: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 02G-P4-2956-RX 2GB SC+ GAMING, Silent Cooling Gaming Graphics Card - Certified Refurbished (Doesn't have to be this one, can any graphics card give me a better gaming experience?)
Many thanks!

Nothing will turn that computer to a gaming computer
a mini tower does not have the space for a larger/ more powerful power supply (you need a good quality 600-800w power supply minimum) a 250 w PS will only run a small basic /low spec graphics card which is the first thing needed, before you even consider upgrading graphics cards ./ CPU / motherboard etc

You would probably end dup spending $ 800-900 upgrading that one with almost no real benefit. You would be much better off spending $1000 on a higher spec gaming PC
