    you are very limited in your upgrade choices, and the very best would still have you just at or below minimum required spec.

    I am not sure if they use a proprietary PSU + motherboard combo, if not, you could change to a bigger PSU and get a video card to better match the game, this of course would depend on your budget and screen resolution.

    Pretty much everything with computers is keyed, it only fits one way and pretty much every slot is unique fit. Don't force anything and ur good.

    Might need to disable the on board video in BIOS, but probably not.

    PCI Express slot is the first one under the CPU or if you prefer first slot starting from the top.
    Just connect the GPU to the power supply and slide it in.

    you will need to go in the bios to specify the primary GPU. My advice is to disable the internal vid.
