After a quick search, you're not in good shape. It appears the Dell Dimension 3000 does not come with an AGP or PCI-E expansion slot, which means you are limited to a graphics card that fits into a regular old PCI slot.
Although this is better then the integrated graphics you have, it's not going to play the high end games very well at all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

You've got a good business desktop that's not worth turning into a gaming PC. It would require major surgery that would involve a motherboard upgrade, a new graphics card and possibly a new power supply if you decide to get a powerful graphics card.

Then use regardless of funds you have left on an excellent photos card.
