If your Notebook has a dedicated video card other than the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, you should be able to run it. If not, your video chip is not powerful enough.

My graphics card is outdated, but is my processor? Your advisor said that the only thing i needed was a new graphics card, but i have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz processor. Does this meet the game's requirements? Or do i need a new processor as well?

Only a desktop PC allows an upgrade to its graphics without spending more money than the entire machine is worth, sorry (If I am misremembering about it being a laptop, pardon my age-affected recollections). .
Really? I have a laptop, so i can't upgrade in the first place?
It's a sealed unit; attempting to open it and insert the GPU would destroy the unit. It couldn't be reassembled properly if it wasn't made inoperable by the efford to cut it apart. External upgrades that would be sufficient to bring an old model like that into Gaming Class Laptop territory (which I never suggest, because almost none have sufficient cooling capacity) would cost more than just buying the new laptop in the first place.
One of the best laptops for good cooling is the Sager brand (and you will have to pay for their good quality).
