So I have an Acer Aspire XC-603G, which I have been receiving mixed answers as to whether or not I can install a better graphics card into or not. All I am trying to do is run a game that requires NVIDIA GeForce or equivalent at the minimum and was told my graphics card is too out of date for this game to possibly even launch, never mind run. I humbly request an honest answer as to if I can, and what the best option would be if it is possible. Please, I just want to play my game, even if it lags. I also don't want to break my system either. I can afford maybe a $200 part at the most. I can't afford an all new desktop with the specs I need, as the cost of even just the tower in my area is $700 at the least. Below are my exact specs on my system.
UPDATE: I have also been told my processor is also out of date and I have no clue if that can be upgraded as well or not... Please help.
