kk so how much virtual memory does the intel card have?
selling more stuff on ebay for the computer got about $100 saved up for it.

Virtual memory is normally associated with the system and not the video card.
It is normally 1.5 times the amount of actual memory on the system. So with 4 gigs of memory your virtual memory would be like 6.5 gigs of memory.
The card won't use more then 1 gig of memory on the 4 gig total memory so you should be ok.

Yes it should play games with no problem. The nice thing is you can always replace it later if you want.

The whole reason to upgrade your graphics card is so the computer can translate the video from the game to the monitor, so yes you would need to plug your monitor into the graphics card. Most monitors are VGA so you would need to plug into the output slot on it to get the upgraded video graphics.

You should not have to disable onboard video as it should do that automatically.
The drivers you can get from the new video card manufacturers site normally. If you cannot find them then yes drivermax should do ok for updating drivers.
After everything is updated then you should be able to play with no issues.

Did the card come with a drivers disk?
If not then the OS should load drivers for it when you installed it and booted up.
If the drivers on the website are newer then yes go ahead and update then.

Lets make this easy. I use this program to keep all my drivers up to date. It will actually give you the link to download and then you can install it using the program itself. The ones in your above list don't tell me what the drivers are for.
Download DriverMax and have it scan your system. It will open their website with all the out of date drivers you can update. With the free version you can update only 2 drivers per day so if you have a lot of them it will take a few days to get everything updated. I have been using it for about 4 months now and like it better then any other utility out there for keeping my drivers up to date.
