You should really consider upgrading, doesn't have to be fancy or anything but you'll probably encounter more disappointment buying games if you don't.

Dude, even with a GPU that supports shader 3.0 1GB of ram is not going to run that game. I would seriously recommend getting a new computer... And your CPU is ancient.
