I would think it unlikely that you will get a worthwhile game playing experience

Of all the sims being played now, you're most likely to get F4:AF running with that rig.

The main problem is your video card...Intel integrated video is about as low as you can go, if you were doing the video limbo.

 

Pretty much any other sim won't run at all I would think. You might get F4 to at least function, though. I don't know what kind of board you have, but it will need some kind of DX9-compatible video card put in there.

Can I buy components from Alienware?? I can't affford to order a new system-I'll have to build it piece by piece...........................

No, they're full-system only. For parts, places like ZipZoomFly and NewEgg are popular among others.
