My 1gb RAM came from crucial today so thats the first upgrade I have done.
Im just wandering what you lot believe I should do to this computer to make it better and able to run one certain game, GTA: San Andreas.

Thanks alot if you can help. I would really appreciate it.

If the RAM didn't solve your problem, I'd think that you need a new Video Card... but it's tough to say for sure... what are the required specs on the game?
 
Well mainly san andreas.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas System Requirements:
Recommended System Requirements:
Intel Pentuim 4 or AMD XP Processor (or better)
384MB RAM
16x Speed DVD Drive
4.7GB Hard Drive Space
128MB Video Card
DirectX 9 compatible sound & video drivers
Keyboard, mouse or game pad

Minimum System Requirements:
1GHz Pentuim III or AMD Athlon
256MB RAM
8x Speed DVD Drive
3.6 GB Hard Disk Space
64MB Video Card
DirectX 9 compatable sound & video drivers
Keyboard, mouse

And Im also wandering, am I able to buy any graphics card for my pc?
 
From what I can tell, your motherboard has an AGP 4x port. So you should be able to get something.
 
You have to have a graphics slot for it. Sounds like you're running on integrated graphics right now (no good), so your AGP slot shouldn't be in use at all.
