Define "low end." To some people that might mean an i3 and GTX 560, which can still run pretty much anything if you turn the settings down enough, or it might mean a Celeron and a Ragepro128. Hell if you've got a 386 I could still give you some suggestions.

Also, what kind of games do you like? There are a billion lo-fi indie games these days that will run on basically anything, not to mention all the classics.

A lot of indie games. Personally, I have many hours racked on Counter Strike Source which runs beautifully on Low settings but full resolution

edit: nvm looks like you already have CSS. But I can recommend Simcity 4, Civ 4, or Spelunky.

mine is not the best but i can run things like Path of Exile, S4League, Rusty Hearts, and even Dark Souls (a little slowly, but it's playable) oh and of course, i loved to play Lost Planet and Lost Planet 2.

If your PC can't handle those games, try something less expensive to your system, like 'Long Live the Queen' (i found that kind of cool, but i wish it had a narrator all the time), you could also try to get some old games for consoles, people don't make games like Digimon World 1 for PSX anymore

^This guy has good taste. Castle Crashers and KOTOR II are the only of those I haven't played (and plan to play KOTOR II). FTL is a really cool game with tons of replayability. To the Moon is a fantastic story, about 4 hours long but best played in a single sitting if possible. I'm playing torchlight 2 right now, its a blast and has coop. KOTOR is just a classic, great game. Republic Commando is one of my all time favorite SW games and games in general.

Civ IV and Fable 1 are classics. I'm playing the first Riddick game, Escape from Butcher Bay, right now too. Pretty cool stealth/action game. Mark of the Ninja is cool and should run on most computers.

I'm on a cruddy old XP box and Mark of the Ninja runs fine on it, so I concur with that.

Games that run really well on it: FTL, Defender's Quest, Spacechem, Frozen Synapse, The Binding of Isaac, Legend of Grimrock, Dungeonmans, Plants vs. Zombies, Zenbound 2, A Virus Named Tom, Electronic Super Joy, Retro/Grade. Bastion and Torchlight run okay. Half-Life 2 hangs up pretty frequently and has long load times, and so does Dragon Age: Origins, to a lesser extent. It really struggles with Total War: Rome but is playable with patience.

I played KOTOR on a fairly beefy laptop when it was new, which was a strain but doable, so it ought to run fine on even a low end modern laptop. I got the Spiderweb Software games (Nethergate, Avernum, Avadon, etc. for playing on an older laptop and they run just fine on this box too; the Longest Journey ran fine on even older hardware so should be fine on a more modern laptop.

GOG has a good selection of light-resource games. My favorites from there are King of Dragon Pass, Master of Magic, Master of Orion, Temple of Elemental Evil and the old Sid Meier games. As far as free/cheap games go, Angband (a free classic roguelike) runs on about anything. I haven't played Tome of May'el yet but it should be really lightweight too, or there's Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup which has an Android port so ought to be fine on windows.

I'll have to look into Republic Commando; I hadn't gone past KOTOR.

Thanks to crappy campus internet I just lost a whole post. Basically, Bastion and Frozen Synapse I forgot but are great. Dragon Age origins and Oblivion with mods might be stretching it but are good. I've heard Mount and Blade Warband is better but the original has really great star wars, lord of the rings, and western mods that I don't think are on Warband. Or some aren't.

And yeah, RepCom is an awesome squad based shooter.
