What video card is compatible with my emachines el 1600 desktop PC?

Looking for something for gaming, preferably Nvidia GT220 or better. My PC's specs are here: http://emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=EL1600-01|||You are going to have to live with the integrated video on that computer. There are no video card slots nor PCI slots for upgrading anything.|||You can not upgrade using a "good card." You have no PCI express ports, which is what modern video cards are. You have a VGA port. Their are some VGA cards, but they're pretty old technology. You also have an Intel Atom processor... The video card would probably kill the processor. I would suggest getting another computer or just leaving the integrated graphics alone. I know it's not what you wanted to hear. I am using an eMachines T3646, and it is a load of crap... lol.|||There's absolutely no way that machine will run a GT220 without a power supply upgrade, not to mention that a dual core atom with bottleneck it to high heaven, and it doesn't have a slot for it. Also, I poked around, and found that your motherboard only has 1 PCI-E x1 slot, which means you are severely limited in card choice. The best of which being a Radeon 4350, which is in no way an intense gaming card. You're better off investing in a new PC. Sorry.
