I got rid of my old computer and got a new one , here are the specs :

-Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-core E6600 @ 3.06 Ghz 3.07 Ghz
-RAM : 4 Gb (3.12 usable)
-GPU: Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset
-OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bits

What games can i play at 30 fps or above ?

Pre - 2001 games would be my guess. The only real use for the Intel G41 chip is surfing the web and doing work related things on.

Xitrex maybe you should of done some research first because buying this, if you wanted to game on it.

Go here "http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri"
They let you test your system against games, and how well they will perform.

Probably only really old stuff. Blizzard games are usually good on older systems as they try to make their games playable by anyone with a computer that will turn on lol. Double check the system reqs though before buying. If you can't run newer blizzard games you can almost certainly play their old stuff like Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 and the original Starcraft.. Lots of fun to be had in those old games.

Terraria might do ok. And its a great game Its an 8 bit style 2D Minecraft type game.

OpenTTD.. Its free and awesome if you're into tycoon games. Not on Steam though. Just Google it and you'll find it easy.

SIM city 2000 and the older SIM city titles would probably run good.

Roller Coaster Tycoon (original) and maybe RCT 2.

Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper, Dungeon Keeper 2, Populous.. And pretty much all the old but excellent Bullfrog titles would do great.

Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics,

The old Dungeons and Dragons games like Baldurs Gate, Baldurs Gate 2, Planescape Torment.. Etc..

Cave Story, if your not familiar with this game Its a free indie game, widely considered the best indie title ever made. Just Google it or buy the Cave Story+ edition on Steam.. I'd go the free route though just in case it doesn't run smooth for you.

Spelunky.. Another great indie title that is free but like Cave Story has a revamped version you can but on Steam.. Again I'd check out the free version before purchasing.

Divine Divinty maybe

For a huge selection of old games go check out gog.com.. They have pretty much all the old school greats that you can't get here on Steam. You'll have to go to blizzard for their old titles though. Check out the battle.net shop for those.

If I remember anymore good games you can probably play I'll come back and mention them. All the games I mentioned here are excellent and you really can't go wrong with them.

At this point you could buy literally any gpu and you'd be better off. But if I were you I wouldn't dump any money into that computer.. At most a cheap old gpu to run the older games better if they give you problems.

But you can always take any gpu you buy and put into a future rig. If you're going to do that I wouldn't get anything older than a 660ti. Or the ATI equivalent(not real familiar with the ATI cards to say which one it is).

If you dont plan on upgrading to a new rig just get an old 9800gt or 8800gt for cheap. Idk.. Just not many options with a 775 socket. But you'd probably be able to run some slightly newer 3d games with those cards. You can probably pick one up for under $50 as they pretty old these days. Maybe a 200 series like a 260 would be a better fit would be about the same age as your pc lol.

Before buying a graphics card, check your PSU output. Most standard PSUs' for cheap pre-build non-gaming PCs are normally around 250 watt - 350 watt, which is no good for new graphics cards.

Man, my friend has the same specs and he runs CoD MW3 with ~18 FPS.. and it doesn't seem any laggy

you should play indie games like terraria skullgirls crypt of the necrodancer and any pixel art games alike

I realize its an old post but i may as well.. Dude you need to get a 64 bit of windows, and more ram... then worry about your graphics card. I have a feeling this is a store bought and not a custom computer... That in itself can also be a mistake.
