what are your current specs?

It was a Dell premade tower I got a million years ago (2008) from a Coupons thread but it had a Q6600

-- Dell Inspiron 530 --
-- Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)
-- [223-5256]
-----------------------
-- Memory --
-- 3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs
-- [311-7749]

I've upped the memory and put in an 8600 GT 256mb which has proved surprisingly resilient overall. For a six year old machine with a couple of 3-5 year old parts, it was able to run Diablo 3 at an acceptable level and all for like $600 total

edit: so I've gotten my money's worth if it's better to get a whole new one, but if the processor holds up then maybe I should just get a baller video card? I dunno, component inter-relation is always one of the things I was not great at

if you play on the lowest difficulty setting, the computer isn't allowed to start wonders until you've discovered the required technology

if you ask me about a video game i played in high school or college (civ 2, alpha centauri, baldur's gate series) i'm probably an expert on it because i was a massive loser and played video games instead of talking to people

even a sub-$100 modern video card is going to be held back by that processor. look at the shsc parts picking thread op for recommendations, they focus on good value not ~future proof~ performance. if you splurge on one thing make it an ssd, makes a world of difference
