Available Expansion Slots2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16

Hi and welcome, your motherboard has onboard graphics that would be just pathetic at 3D gaming, as you have found. You need to add in a PCI-Express x16 card, however I cannot suggest a card until I know your budget for this upgrade and also the PSU specifications, specifically total wattage (W) and amps output (A) on the +12V rail(s). Unfortunately this information is not listed in the specifications and so you would have to open the case and have a look on the sticker of the PSU itself for this information.

Cheers

Troy
