Depending on the age of your PC, you need to know if your motherboard has an AGP graphics slot (older) or PCI-Express.

If you have the motherboard manual, it will give this information, if not, download Belarc Advisor, this will list the hardware in your PC.

I think that you will have to consider upgrading more than your video card, unless you want a custom gaming PC (expensive), you might consider buying one with a fast CPU/plenty of RAM/big hard drive and adding a video card yourself.
