Thank you guys for all your assistance, and I'm definitely going to look into everything you linked.

Do you have any recommendations in regards to a new PC? Something cheap-ish, preferably. I only paid $80, omitting tax, for this, because I just needed a new PC and I had a friend who was selling.
Because this thing can run Vindictus, I doubt I'll need a $700 PC to be able to run it decently. I suppose, at best, I'd be willing to shell out $200-300 for a new-er PC if I had to. I'm not a PC Gamer by any means, so any help in picking a decent yet 'budget'/'affordable' one out would be greatly appreciated.
I could build you a nice gaming budget PC for 500$ maybe 400$ but nothing less than that, you may try 2nd handed PCs or just buy a brand new console.
Really? Seems like a pretty sweet deal, and something I'll definitely check into when I'm able to afford that.
Tell me, is this a somewhat decent rig? It has a price tag of $300:
CPU
- CPU Type
- Sempron
- CPU Speed
- 3850 (1.30GHz)
- L2 Cache Per CPU
- 2MB
- CPU Main Features
- 64 bit Quad-Core Processor
Graphics
- GPU/VGA Type
- AMD Radeon HD 8280
Memory
- Memory Capacity
- 4GB DDR3
- Memory Speed
- DDR3 1600
- Memory Slot (Total)
- 2
- Maximum Memory Supported
- 32GB
- I don't know if any of you are familiar with it, but it's the CyberPower EQ100, and it seems like it'd be something good for someone who doesn't do a lot of PC gaming, like me.
- Can you guys tell me if it's a decent PC for the price, or would it be wiser to pass it up?

Hi, new guy here.
Okay, so, normally, I'm a Console Gamer kind of guy. Y'know, PS3/PS4 and all that stuff. But, just yesterday, I finally bought a PC, upgrading from my 2000 Rig. The one I bought isn't flashy or 'new' buy any standards, but, to my surprise, it isn't terrible.
So, the purpose of this post is, after looking through some online games, I've found one that meets my fancy:
Vindictus, by Nexon.
I can play it on Low (15-20FPS) or Medium (10-15 FPS with noticeable drops) if I fiddle with the settings, so I'd like to know what would be decent upgrades so I can play with at least 30FPS/Medium without any trouble.
Any help would be appreciated, and if there are any games you can recommend that would suit my current rig, I'd appreciate it. I know I can play BF2/Oblivion without any problems, so I'm just interested in if there's anything else my PC may be able to play that has, at least, been made in the last 10 years (2004 and forward).
