I found this computer on trash day i been wanting to play resident evil 7 for a long time but never could afford it.

Sadly not.

The CPU is way, WAY too old, RAM is enough, but your GPU doesn't even support DirectX 11, and modern games have switched to DirectX 12 and Vulkan.

You can try GeForce Now, you should be able to link your Steam account with GFN and play games there if you have a decent internet and close to their servers.

Edit: if it's not an option you can build a cheap PC from used parts, just make sure you're buying correct parts that work with each other. A Ryzen 5 3600 or i3-12100F, and an RX 6600 or RTX 3060 are good for this game.

Do what #1 suggested. As a matter of fact you could likely throw together a decent mid 2010s gaming PC for less than $150, if you know where to look on eBay, Craigslist and etc. It would make a lot more sense to opt for a bigger budget, something along the line of $500, which would be able to get you a decent i7/i9 or Ryzen with something like a used 1080 ti or even 2080 ti, but if you're very strapped for cash you could definitely make something happen with just about $150. You most definitely do not need a 3060 for RE7, but it would be nice to have headroom for either a higher resolution scale in-game (100% native looks bad no matter what in RE7, you'd want 130% at the least) or just to be able to play other, newer titles. A 3060 or AMD's cards aren't bad, but I'd recommend neither. Why? Because a 3060 is in a weird mid-range spot, where it's better to just opt for a 2080 ti instead. You'll have like 50% more performance and more VRAM as well, well not accounting for the 12GB VRAM model that also exists but the 3060 will still be a 3060 at the end of the day.
As for AMD, do not buy their cards, any, unless you would get it for free or almost free. AMD has very poor drivers and stuff like anisotropic filtering has been broken for years now, if you tried forcing AF via the control panel. Why's it an issue? Because plenty of games either no no AF built into the in-game settings, or the in-game settings for AF are subpar/broken.
Some AMD users can force up to x8 on DX9/10/11, but others seemingly can't even do that. There's no info at all on which card + driver combo will leave you without x8 AF.
Anisotropic filtering is important for image quality and clarity and it's not worth it saving even $200 over nvidia for a high-end card. You could pay me to use a 7900 XTX and I wouldn't do it. Too many games out there without AF in the in-game options. With nvidia you set it globally or on a per game basis and it just works, flawlessly.
I'd just get a used 10 series card or if possible something better like a 2080 ti. If budget is tight, just opt for something like an i7 4770/4790 with a 1060 for roughly $150, or something similar. Ryzen 3600 + the 1060 would be better since the 3600 uses DDR4 RAM and roughly matches an 8th gen i7. Some games want that DDR4 RAM and won't be happy with DDR3. RE7 works fine with DDR3 though.
If you can scrape together about 500 bucks get a used 9900k/10900k with a 2080 ti, or something similar. You'd be paying just above 500 for the main components. Case + PSU would be an extra $100.

Also, why 9th/10th gen i9s and nothing else? Because the 9700k was a downgrade from 8th gen and anything newer is kinda pozzed. 11900k has less cores/threads than the 10900k, but is essentially the same, and anything newer than that has the E/P core mess and stuff like the whole degradation issue with 13th and 14th gen, which was patched, but still. Only get a 10900k if you want to switch over to PC gaming and have access to modern games. If you want to play pre-2020 stuff a 3600 will do just fine and you can get those for next to nothing. Pair it with a 1070 for like $80-100 and you can play any game you want pretty much.
