A 1050ti or AMD 560 should be considered a low-cost entry-point for anyone that wants to power a middle-of-the-road 1920x1080 display @ 60fps. Not even talking about maximum graphics-settings, mind you.
The GPU installed inside your system has never been considered a powerful card, let alone capable to deliver smooth gaming in any but the most basic titles back in it's day. It was really meant as an expansion-card to provide a low-power multi-monitor solution i.e. to enlarge desktop-workspace. Same reason such unsuitable-for-gaming add-in-cards are still offered today.
Now, around €120 for a gaming-capable GPU isn't at all bad times, really. Used to be way more than that. But then again, today's racing-sims will not make sense to play if not combined with a good 900°/1080° ffb-wheel and pedals. If not already part of your collection, that will easily set you back more than twice that.
In the mean-time I suggest looking at software that will actually run well with what you have.
e.g.:
www.lfs.net
about 85% of the driving-mechanics/physics seen in this game here. Requires maybe 20% of the hardware to run it. And the demo-content is free, so you can play around with it and verify that it runs great before you buy anything.
Had I had access to something as good as that at age 11, I don't know what would have happened!
Not that I do because you will wear out your PC more than you need to (unless you got a Gaming PC)
*Also, do you know any more of games like these? And where could I buy this game, like where can you buy it?
Truth be told, it's glory-days have now been long over, but you might be able to squeeze into a league or two with the help of their official forums. "Pick-up"-style casual racing has always been it's strength... ...although that might be a little bit tougher with the user-base spreading itself thinner and moving on to other sims. Drifting and pretend-"city-driving" seem the most-popular pastimes in the lfs-universe, today.
You should try your G27 with it (before you buy). I recommend dialing "damper" & "spring-effect" down to zero in the Logitech-drivers for this game, overall force ~ 85%. In-game chose 15..25%.
Their shop is to be found directly on their own site:

As AC is very GPU intensive and much less of CPU mess then i can defeintely say that it will run "bad" cause Radeon 5450 time is long gone over. I suggest gtx660 or 750ti if you are on budget and 1050ti if you are not into really demanding games (or you are into them but don't mind playing on medium/low).
*I mistaken the GTX 970 for the GTX 750 I thought GTX 970 costs 100 lol, do you know any graphics cards around £100? ($110, 105 Euro etc...)
