I have a really really old gaming pc from back in the day. I still use it, and I don't really have 500-600 for a new computer. I am wondering if theres a graphics card I can buy to upgrade my current computer so I can play league of legends at 100 fps on low settings?

CPU: Intel pentium E2140 1.6GHZ Cure2Duo
Ram: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
GPU: VGA POWERCOLOR AX3850 512MD3 RT (basically an ati hd radeon 3800 series)
PSU: PSU ANTEC|NEO POWER 500 500W RT
HDD: HD 500G|WD WD5001AALS
OS: Wdinows 7
MOBO: MB ASUS P5QL/EPU P43 775

So is there anyway I can upgrade my video card on my really old motherboard? Any video cards I can buy? thank you.
