Help installing a graphics card in Foxconn computer

As a first note, I am not very intelligent at all when it comes to PC hardware, so bear with me ;) And the origin story I am about to tell you is very condensed.

So my dad recently got the family a new computer as our old one died, and it's a Foxconn. At first it seemed like it worked great, but I soon realized that the graphics card sucked. In fact, I found out that there wasn't a card in there at all. Since I'm not hardware intelligent, I'm guessing that the display and all comes from the motherboard or something? I can still play games, but only up to about 2000 or 2001.

So as I wanted to play newer games, I decided I should try installing the graphics card from our old computer, a Radeon 9800 Pro. Probably not very good, but compared to this current computer it's fantastic. So I unplugged everything and looked inside, and saw the only suitable-looking slot for a graphics card. I tried to insert the card.. But it just barely didn't fit, and I couldn't push it any further to make it fit. What's the problem here? Do I need a new graphics card, or am I doing something wrong?

If you need any specs of my computer or whatnot, tell me how to find them and I'll find them. I also took some pictures for you gents-

This is the interior, plain and simple:

This is how the graphics card tries to fit into the slot, where it just barely doesn't fit in:

The card you have is an AGP card, which is an old connection interface. What you want is a PCIe card. You may want to check your PSU wattage when you go looking for a new GPU, as some require more power than a basic PSU can provide. Also check if it has a PCIe connector as you may need that.

Ahh, that's a lot of help. Thanks a lot :) I think I'll just stick it with this computer until I move out, then I'll focus on getting a whole new one.

I hope your new computer doesn't kill itself =P
