what games are good for literally the worst processor ever

[76561198972590832]

i have AMD A9-9410 processor and compared to other processors its complete garbage so what games would work for such a horrible processor that cant even handle all ROBLOX games

Honestly, it's not worth the headaches and disappointment you'll get from not being able to efficiently run the games you want to play.

You're best off saving up as much as you can and buying something like this:

Ryzen 5 3600 (6 cores, 12 threads)
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX (or any B450 motherboard with an updated BIOS)
16GB DDR4-3200
(GPU based on resolution+refresh rate)

or this:

Ryzen 3 3100 or 3300X (4 cores, 8 threads)
Any B450 motherboard with an updated BIOS
16GB DDR4-3200
(Again, GPU depends on your display spec)

As someone who's played games on worse CPUs before building a new system, I know you will be exponentially happier after spending even a few hundred dollars on a used pre-built system and throwing a cheap low power GPU like a 1050 Ti or 1650 into it. But the build specs I listed above are the best value in terms of price/performance value.

Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X have 4 cores and 8 threads with good clocks and overclocking potential; the 3300X can beat the 3600 in games while overclocked, when those games use ~4 cores. If you play games that run better on CPUs with more than 4 cores, like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, then a Ryzen 5 CPU would be better in those games. If all you play is e-sports games like CS:GO, there's no better value than a Ryzen 3 3100 or 3300X because they are amazing CPUs for the price. The only better price based value is a pre-built system and adding a cheap GPU like I mentioned previously.

Is your windows 64 bit?
Jigsaw puzzles probably no issues

2D games maybe

Anything with Core2Quad or Core2Duo, or anything with Phenom II x4 or similar as the "recomended" not "minimum" requirements will work fine on your system, assuming you have a GPU thats at least entry to back the CPU.

aim for games around 2005ish era

I wouldn't try any games from steam as your pc can barely run an o/s and steam client let alone the o/s+client plus a game. There is a site that sells updated old games which are drm-free and don't require a client, called GOG. I'd try there.

Maybe go buy a used PC if you can't afford to build a modern/new one.

Such as Dell OptiPlex, mid tower model, not slim tower. With specs such as; 4771, 4770, 4790 cpu; 16gb DDR3 1600; At least one ssd, or 1x ssd and 1x hdd; then once you have such a system, replace the PSU with at least a 450-550 watt 80+ Bronze atx psu. Then install GPU of choice as long as the PSU can handle it. Then clean install Win10 64bit using your own self made Win10 usb flash drive installer media that's been made using your own usb flash drive via a working PC, via Official MS media creation tool on the official MS Win10 website

What operating system are you running, and what kind of games are you looking to play?

Some fun, very low spec games:
Doom and Doom 2 (Steam - use an alternative client such as GZDoom)
Duke Nukem 3D (Steam)
Shadow Warrior (Steam)
Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (Free, but not available on Steam)
Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2 (Steam)
Decent and Decent 2 (Steam)
Quake (Steam)
Half-Life (Steam)
Uplink: Hacker Elite (Steam)
Postal and Postal 2 (Steam)

You can try Geforce Now if your pc meets the minimum specs or is a bit below. Basically the game runs on their servers while you stream it. Only some games are available. There's free to play ones also I think. Free version has 1 hour limit but can be used again and again all day. It uses a lot of internet data. Theres tweaking videos on youtube.

Theres also stadia but I don't think it works as well and you might have to rebuy your games on their platfom? Maybe theres free games also?

You might be able to run:

Elder Scrolls Morrowind

Elder Scrolls Oblivion ?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl?

Dragon Age Origins?

Mass Effect 1?

X3 Terran Conflict?

Darkstar One

Bioshock 1?

Fallout 3?

Fallout New Vegas?

Baldurs Gate?

Far Cry 2?

Gog has old games maybe check there?

I would be worried about cooling the computer and high temps wrecking it?

If you're using the GPU portion also then it's really a write off.

Do you have a separate gpu if so what is it?
