Is it this one with the Sempron? a low end GPU upgrade might be a decent upgrade option for that machine but frankly it's too outdated to do very much nowadays unless you're thinking of playing some older games.

Amount of VRAM isn't important in the card, it's the actual GPU itself that matters.

If you're on a really tight budget and not thinking of getting a new PC in the near future then you could opt for a low end budget card which should still be an upgrade over your integrated graphics.

You probably wouldn't need a PSU upgrade for a low end card like a GT 720 or R7 240, both of which aren't particularly good values but should save you some money over getting a new PSU.

All in all it won't be a good gaming experience if you're looking to play any recent games.
