What games can I play with these specs on steam?
Hey everyone I am currently wondering what games can I play with these specs (I don't care how good it looks but smooth framerate is ideal)

intel core i3-3240 3.4ghz
8gb ram
intel HD Integrated graphics

I understand it is terrible specs for the most part but it's until I have more money to upgrade but for the time being I would really appreciate if someone can help refer some good games my computer can handle then I can form a solid idea of what games I can play.

Thanks!

Stuff like csgo tf2 doom and other old games at lowest settings will work I'd also recommend lowspecgamer for optimizing the game to get every frame possible

i3- great for gaming and it can run every game on steam
8GB ram- great for gaming and it can run every game on steam.
Intel HD graphics- not suitable for any kind of gaming at all.

If suggest if you're going to game on that get a new psu and a gtx 750 ti it should do the trick it would only be I think 130$

Yes you need only a good graphics card and a 600 watt power supply. Because when you install a powerful graphics card your PC will be needing more power too.

If you had whatever graphics cards that would help a lot. Doesn't have to be a new one (but should be a gaming / GTX one and not a desktop / GT one.)
i3 3220 with GTX 650 in CS:GO = Just fine.

Intel HD 2500 (seem to be what's in the i3 3220) CS:GO = pretty bad.

GTA V on the integrated graphics = terrible:

GTA V on the i3 3220 with a GTX 960 = sweet:

CS:GO isn't demanding on graphics but the integrated graphics and low-end (Intel) desktop graphics cards are pretty terrible relative a dedicated graphics card.

or for a little extra you can get the more current gtx 1060 idk if it will bottleneck but to be sure i would think about getting a I5 aswell

Its terrible. I had those specs, but my laptop eventually overheated and dead. Not recommending.

A good site to help with this is Can I run it [www.systemrequirementslab.com] good for seeing what your computer will run
