HI!
Yes integrated graphics is to slow to run this game. You have one PCI-e slot avalable. I recommend you nvidia geforce 9600GT or ATI 3xxx series. If you want anything more powerful CPU wil bottleneck video card. I recommend Nvidia. Happy gaming to your son! :D

I like the ATI HD4670 graphic card for upgrading HPs. It's a decent card that will allow game playing and it uses very little power and does not require an additional input from the power supply, only what is furnished by the PCI-e socket. You should have no trouble fitting it into the case.

The 9600GT is more powerful, but it also requires a 6pin PCIe plug from the power supply. Your power supply is most likely a 300w.
