re: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz
this cpu is too weak for gaming. it is only 2 core. consider upgrade to i5-2500 or i7-2600.
for the 1st game you mentioned, system requirements are
you would need to upgrade psu to have one to two 6 pin PCIe to support either video card.
since you have a 390 tower (MT), it is easy to upgrade to Dell 460W psu for XPS 8300/8500 etc.

No because ALL GPU's are more expensive than that.
GT630 is too old and too slow to be of any use.

Thanks to you both for the responses, looks like I've got a few upgrades to make then.
