Right now I have only a dedicated graphics card that is 64 mb. This doesn't even meet the minimum requirements, but the game runs okay. It's kind of ugly but it runs. I wish I could have a graphics card that shows all the beauty of the game. I only have $50 dollars so I would be fine with one that just puts it up to spec. So I have three questions what's the best card I can get for $50, in an ideal world what would be the best card, and what do I look for when shopping for graphics cards?

I wouldn't attempt such an upgrade on my own personally, but then we also have the question as to whether investing much more than you wanted to in new hardware and labor (if someone else does the upgrade) is really worth it for a desktop that must be around six years old by now.

Seriously, I can't upgrade at all?

A tower is oriented vertically, like a stack, with access provided on the side. A desktop is oriented horizontally (you could put a monitor on top of it or turn it on its side and put it under a desk if there is sufficient airflow) with access provided on the top. Compact and Small Form Factor (SFF) mean things are crammed together to save space and there may not be a slot for a dedicated GPU present at all or the one it comes with may be attached permanently. And again, there could be cooling system issues if the rest of the hardware beyond the hard drives can even be upgraded, they are almost like laptops in this regard.
Can we get the exact model number? I mean any digits/letters that come after the 7010 part?
Optiplex computers are designed for business/office use, not for playing games. The models that do come with medium to higher end graphics cards, or at least more than integrated, are really meant for lightweight graphics design work and complicated presentations. That doesn't mean we can't play games on them, but their model lines do not follow the same "logic" as gaming computers or even those for general home usage.

Dell Optiplex 7010 / Core i7-3770 3.40 GHz / 16 gigs of RAM / 64 bit OS / I couldn't find anything else regarding the model.
And, Thank you, for helping me.
