@ShepardPotato, welcome to the forum.

 

The problem that you will have with upgrading the video card is the power supply unit (PSU).  It is only 180W.  Most new video cards require a minimum of 400W to operate properly.  You should check to see if a stanard ATX PSU will fit into the space provided for the existing PSU.  If there is enough space, this PSU should work.  You should get the measurements of it from the specs.

 

When you upgrade the PSU, here is a video card that will do what you need.  If you need more help, you should contact the manufacturer's Tech Support.
