Upgrade advice needed for an older system

[lenzz90]

Hi
I am really out of the loop as far as hardware goes these days and I am looking to give my kid’s computer a slight upgrade so he can run games with decent graphics. It’s a system I through together from bits a pieces I had laying around a few years ago and its running onboard graphics.

The CPU is a Q6600 2.40GHZ
motherboard is an ASUS P5N73-AM.
PSU is a corsair HX520w
2GB OF RAM ( so that needs upgrading to )

I am looking for a half decent graphics card that will run most games with half decent graphics. I would be looking to run things like the lego games and skyrim. it doesn’t have to be new, 2nd hand of ebay is fine, Just want bit of advice on what cards will run in this motherboard and what gives good value for money. Don’t really want to spend any more than 80 quid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I have a few questions.

I can't find that model mobo. Is that supposed to be a 7 instead of a T?
What's the PSU brand, model and wattage?
How much RAM does it have?

sorry yes it should be a 7 . i have amended the original post with RAM and PSU
