It would be best to bring the computer to a local repair shop to have them install a graphics card upgrade for you. They'll have cards on hand to test so they can make sure your PC will work with it. The main two main things you may have an issue with are power requirements (this computer only has a 300W power supply) and space in the case (high end graphics cards are very big and may not fit in an average size case).
