@CONERSTONE , welcome to the forum.

 

It would help to know the kind of games that you want to play.  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is only 300W.  Therefore, if you want a powerful card you will have to upgrade the PSU, also.  Here is a card that states it will work with your PSU.  Read the "Specifications" tab and Customer Reviews to see what you think.

Thank you for the additional information, @CONERSTONE!

 

The video card in the link that I provided should work fine with these older games.
