Ok thanks for the responses guys and for taking your time to help me. Ill download the demo for now and if it plays well then ill buy the full game if i like it. My actual computer is a gateway computer that i got around June. This is it.

You should try popping apart the case and getting into your motherboard. Look and see if it has a PCI Express slot. If so at the minimum you could get a cheap low profile card and your gaming experience would be a lot better.

K. If it does i have a 300 W Power supply i think so what type of graphics card could i get for around $100? Also i usually only play strategy games like company of heroes which i can run on ultra settings with good framerates, but i dont think i will be able to run company of heroes 2 which is coming out soon? So what type of graphics card do you think i could get to run that game?

The entire case is about 36 inches width and 26 inches width. Also i was leaning towards the 7770 right now.


I think it would be a good choice for you. As long as you have the PCI Express slot, (which most modern mobos do) that should work fine for you. Then you'd be able to play games with much less stress :) 

Yeah, 300W will be enough for 7770. Make sure you get the one with 2 free bundled games such as this one:

Edit: and to add to what grumbledook said, even if you don't you can get molex to pci-e adapter

Edit2: Just to reassure you, here's some power consumption data

Note that the CPU they used (i7 965) requires alot more power than yours.
