No, you can't, and no it's not.

It doesn't even have a separate video card.

NVIDIA GEForce 6150 SE
I'm not good with this stuff.. I just want to be able to play those games and do graphics work.. I'm keeping it for more than 10+ years. I have 800$ + my parents can pitch in a few hundreds. Can you help me find a good one in Canada ?

No computer will last you "10+ years" for games - trying to play anything modern on a computer from 1998 will be a recipe for disaster. The max it will last you is 2-3 years in modernity. Of course, you can always do other stuff like word processing for as long as you want but graphics updates will quickly surpass it.

The best prebuilt I can find in Canada is this, but several reviewers noted damage in shipping.

Your best bet is to either build it yourself or have someone do it for you.
