Need to update video card for Emachines EL 1852

[andyk47]

I recently purchased Total War: Rome 2 and the game plays horribly on this computer; very fractured. Anyways, I want to put in an improved video card, but I understand the 220 W power supply in my computer might be a problem.

Here are the specs:

So, anyways, I'm looking to find out how I can update my computer so I can play this game, short of buying a new computer. Thanks

Two questions:
What CPU do you currently have?
How much room do you have for a video card in the case?
