Wait, even a low profile card does not fit for your case? Low profile cards look like these .
I doubt cards go any smaller than half-height low profile designs. If that is the case, then you should get a new case. Problem is the motherboard, if it is proprietary, then mounting the motherboard will be a problem.

Okay, took a look at the insides already.
The red box as labeled would the PCI-Express x16 slot. The slot in which you'll fit the graphic card into.
[strike]Your casing is 3.9 inches. Not to worry, took a quick measurement with my low-profile card and the width is ~2.3 inches (excluding connectors and back plate, don't have to worry about those) giving you around 1.6 inches of leeway. Sufficient unless your motherboard sticks out a lot.
Your casing also appears to have two rear slots meaning adding a low-profile back plate will also be no problem. It will look like this when you've changed the back plate.[/strike]
[strike]So, now the only problem you would have is to find a graphics card which comes included with a low profile bracket as well as a low profile design.[/strike] Any ideas on which card you'd like to get?
EDIT: Did a little more measurements and the back plate of a standard graphic card is 3.9 inches exactly the same as the width of your casing (as stated by eMachines website). This means you don't have to worry about getting a card with low profile back plate.

Now, what will be the budget your whole system?
That will help narrow things down better.
Tom's provides a large number of articles to help system builders decide on what to buy (refer: Best CPU/GPU for the money, System Builders Marathon)
On the topic of CPU, if you are interested in an i3 then the i3-2100 would be nice. 3.1GHz, 2 cores on Sandy Bridge architecture and 4 threads; courtesy of Hyper-Threading, makes it a surprisingly effective gaming CPU to have. Biggest setback would be the inability to OC it, no biggie if you don't.
The i3-2120 increases clock speed by 200MHz with a price increase.
Then, on the lower end, if your budget is low there is the new Sandy Bridge Pentium processors. Only one worth looking at is the Pentium G860. Not much to look at there; 3.0GHz and 2 cores. Except for the much sought after sandy Bridge architecture.
On AMD's side, the one I would recommend which wouldn't break the bank is the Phenom II X4 955BE. A Deneb 3.20GHz quad-core beast which OCs ridiculously well on air, this processor packs quite the punch for it's prize category. It trades blows with the Intel's i3-2100 in terms of performance but has a slightly lower price and the advantage of four physical cores (AMD) over four logical cores (Intel).
Still need to know your budget before I can say much. Many processors out there right now.

It is quite a long shot.
But, you can try dropping all the graphics settings to either low/off and make sure there is no form of anti-aliasing. Then try running it at a resolution of 1280x720. If it still lags, decrease your resolution until game play becomes smooth.
I've tried playing Sims 2 on integrated graphics before and it runs but, it isn't without lag at all.
