I know nothing about graphics cards. I want a new one, one that lets me play games WITHOUT having to lower everything to the lowest setting. I don't care for the highest quality, but one that can get me smooth gameplay on games. I am looking for a card within $75-130 but it has to play games without lag. Like said, I don't want a $700 card because I don't need super high quality, just decent no lag quality.
Here is my comp/specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02642273&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5059059#N327
I have some questions: (because I'm a noob)
1. My computer has integrated graphics and on the site it says:
2. Can I even install a new graphics card on my computer?
Does anyone have a guide (noob friendly) that teaches me how to find out everything I need to know (which slots and stuff I need, like PCI express or whatever), like which card to buy, how to install it? I know nothing about how to do any of this.
Help appreciated.

1. My computer has integrated graphics and on the site it says:
Does this mean I can't install a new graphics card? (probably a dumb question)NOTE:*Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
2. Can I even install a new graphics card on my computer?
