It looks like you won't be able to get a much better video card without upgrading your power supply. As far as I can tell that model only has a 300W PSU and most card out there that are decent require a 350W or more PSU.

If you want to browse the market on power supplies as well you can find a great many Here

It looks as thou your motherboard doesn't have any pci-e , agp , or even pci slots for video cards. Only a single pci-e 1x slot which is more or less for sound cards and wireless adapters , ect...

so what your saying is there is no hope for my computer to ever run faster while playing games? I really hope there is a solution out there somewhere one that won't cost an arm and a leg.

If Emosun is right (and he most likely is), then there is indeed nothing you can do short of upgrading the motherboard and PSU. Unfortunately that's just the way it is with hardware, without the right connections and power there is simply nothing you can do.
