Radeon HD 3200 graphics and Star Wars Battlefront

I have an ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics card.

When I try to start Star Wars Battlefront I get an error that says "...required driver version is 13.251 or later."  I have updated the driver to the latest version I could find (from support.amd.com/en-us/download) for this graphics card but I still get the same error.  Do you have any suggestions on how to get a "better" driver?  Is their any chance that this card will work with this game?

    This game requires a GAMES-CAPABLE discrete video graphics adapter board.  You do not have one.  You have an ANCIENT pre-Dx11 integrated video chip, only.

        Processor (Intel): Intel i5 6600 or equivalent (3.3 / 3.9 GHz)

    Thanks for the quick reply.  Do you have any suggestions as to a particular brand or brands for the GPU?

    I installed a new (ASUS STRIX Gaming Radeon R9 380) graphics card and now I get to the Star Wars Battlestar start page and then the computer shuts down within 30-60 seconds.  The fan speed increases and the GPU temperature increases (to ~70 degrees C).  Any idea what could cause this?  I have attached the output from DxDiag.

    Also, I pasted the information from DxDiag to Hastebin but not being familiar with Hastebin I was not sure what the next steps are.

    No matter the number of watts, a power supply degrades about 10% per year, and that machine is at least five or six years old now, so whatever PSU it started with is at half power or less now.

    Did you take care of the warning about the power requirements of the new GPU?

    Yes, I purchased a new (500W) power supply.
