The one i have now is an onboard graphics Radeon HD 4200 and i only have 3 pcie X1 slots and a regular PCI slot. The cards i was looking at was Radeon HD 6670 with 1gb so i could play mw3 but they are all pcie x16 slots. am I able to upgrade my graphics card or do i have to upgrade my motherboard fist?

I believe the rest of my system is ok and i just need to upgrade my graphics.

Motherboard: FOXCON 2AB1 DVT

I need the full exact model because there are other factors you need to consider before upgrading a graphics card and i don't have the full system information i need.
