Get a latest model 8D.
I have Radeon HD 3300 or something like that, and it can play anything I want to.

Would it run on my comp? Cause getting a new comp is not an option!

Don't know, I ain't a tech expert.

Ok, can you tell us what model presario you have?
Compaq Presario Desktop PCs - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
^list of presarios.

Whats important is finding out what kind of card slot is on your motherboard.

I was pretty nervous when I saw integrated graphics, but you have one open PCI Express x16 slot.

PCIe x16 cards

Any of these should work.
