Do you know the exact name of the pc? There is probably a sticker on the front that tells you what it is.
Plus, you can look at what the empty slot in your computer is.
Edit: Replied while I was still typing. Yes you can upgrade with the 4670. Assuming you have the pcie slot free.

sweeeet yes i have the PCI express x16 1 slot and 300 Watt would that graphics card i said support a 300 watt?

 

[thegames201]

and one more questions where should i go for someone to upgrade it for me? like frys cause thats where i bought it from

It should be able to run fine on the 300 watt, but it's very borderline. Also, you don't need to take it to someone to upgrade it for you. Just plug the card into the empty slot.

 

[thegames201]

Is there any other suggestions of a graphics card that mabe cheaper and better then the 4670 and goes with my system?

 

[DeathAbyss]

Well, this depends on what you're trying to do. Play games? Regular work? Dual monitors?

Games

and what is "Support for PCI Express 2.0" would my computer have that?

Uh, Bios. (f1)?. Then go under graphics/similary named category, Onboard graphics, and hit disable.
