1) Don't buy Alienware it's over rated. When you have the money saved Have someone build you one, or use our help to build it yourself.
2) Changing your graphics card is easy. It's as simple as plugging it in and installing a driver
3) Can you give us the model of your Lenovo pc? It is a desktop correct? Not a laptop?
4) How much are you looking to spend on a GPU?

10-50 isn't much for a gpu. I'd look and see if you can't find some deals on Craigslist or ebay or something for that price. An get the best GPU you can. Preferably something in the 500 series or higher.

You have a x16 pci-e slot on your mobo so thats where you plug it in. Currently your machine is running a gt 310 gpu which isn't a gaming gpu.
 
If this is the correct model - http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/pdf/desktops/Essential/h-series/Lenovo_H320.pdf - then the OP will need a low profile card.
