    i5 650's built in integrated graphics just are to old and slow to play this game.

    An HD4000 just barely gets it done at what I'd call "barely" playable.

    I looked up your desktop, it looks like it's a half-height chassis.  That severly limits your options for dedicated GPUs.  There are a few half-height GPUs out there but it's a niche market for gaming.  Mostly you will find "business" grade half-height GPUs.

    Quick google I found some 740's and  R7 250's. 

    I own a 7750 lowprofile in my HTPC, it isn't very good compared to the gaming computers but it gets the job done for light gaming in the living room.

    ------

    If you do buy a new computer someday and you plan on gaming I'd highly recommend a full size case as it doesn't limit your options for a GPU if you are a gamer.  In several years though this suggestion might be null... since the IGP's are advancing so darn quickly. 

    *edit* I checked his drivers, they are up to date with Intel's website for 1st generation i3/5/7

I got something like that, except I have ATI Radeon 3000 graphics

There was never any Radeon 3000 (GPU) since ATI and AMD merged; I didn't think there was ever anything with that number all the way back to the bginning of 3D graphics.  (Edit -- I found such a device, an IGP in the ATI 760G chipset, related to the "3200" onboard chip, although without either Dx 10 or Dx10.1 support.) 

IGPs aren't for games.

It does not appear that any of the HD 3nnn generation are strong enough to be equal to the minimum.

The best of the single core HD 4nnn generation, though, would have made the cut.
