You can't do anything with a PCI slot.

Carbon, it has a PCI Express x8 if that makes a difference.

Thats your motherboard, i linked to it so people could see the spec board you already have so they can advise a card that will fit it better.

You have PCI-e so buy a ATI 4830 or something similar, that will play L4D2 easily

A 4770 will set you back around £100 and will play most games without breaking a sweat, lovely card. Bear in mind though that games on the Source engine use a lot more CPU power than they do graphics power. A high clock speed on a relatively recent CPU and a HD2400 will play this game at just about any resolution and quality.. The graphics card isn't too important but a 4770 will do you great. What processor do you have?
