You could try Freecol.
It is a remake of the old Colonization (similar to Civ) with decent sprite graphics and a few new options.
Running it should be no problem. It is written in Java though and has some problems (maybe too little memory) in late game when there are many units in the field.

You may also play the first of the series. Both are insta classics. If you haven't played them so far, do it already on this occasion.

Fallout tactics, while being very different to 1&2, is still a pretty good game aswell. It is more combat based, less quests and more tactical (as the name implies wololo)
Paprika: ...the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes.

I specifically refrained from advising Tactics, because thinking of its performance on my older PC's, it seems to put very much graphical strain on an outdated rig.

Actually I got very lucky, got replacement PSU and service replaced some minor stuff, and my PC works again, nothing important died.

Man I'm one lucky motherfucker.

Gratz. Gotta be a huge relief. This thread is still a goldmine for you though. Try the games mentioned if you ever run out of gaming material.
