Yes you can you need a single slot video card. And you can upgrade the cpu to a phenom ii x6

First does your machine have a least 4GB of memory ? I looked up the specs and it seems to that it may only come with 2GB of ram. Second what is your budget to upgrade your box ?

yes i have installed another 2gb so running 4gb (3.75 usable) budget 50-100

less money if possible

Yeh shure, https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Profile-Graphics-02G-P3-3733-KR/dp/B00L5GZG5C/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475170154&sr=1-1&keywords=nvidia+gt+730 or https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-64bit-Single-Profile-01G-P3-2711-KR/dp/B01AZ8EEXA/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475170202&sr=1-2&keywords=nvidia%2Bgt%2B710&th=1 and the one installed isnt the best but these should not bottleneck. And when you get the graphics card there is a video on how to install them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rK7rBo55dQ that should help you when you get any of them.
