I have the same computer I had to buy a Nividia geforce 9500 and a new power suppley. I dont know much about computer and I installed the power supply and the vido card by my self. The video card came with great directions that told you every thing you need to know to install it. The power supply didnt come with directions but you can look up how to install`online it or just ask somebody at Best Buy. You can also go to geek squad at Best Buy and they can install every for like 60 dollers.
P.S. You may also want to get a gig or to of ram it helps the game run alot beter that only cost about 30 dollers at Wal-Mart that is also easy to install.

There are three main bus types for video cards.

AGP (Used to be the standard, but for some odd reason it's dying slowly)
PCI (Decent)
PCI Express (The current standard, chances are good you have a PCIe slot)

The best way to find out what you have is to either open your computer up and look, or take it to the store with you so someone can help you.
