AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 is a CPU, not a graphics carte du jour.

You should exist fine with keeping your Core2 CPU. Without seeing the exact model ThinkCentre y'all have, you lot nigh likely have a PCI-Express slot for a nice video card.

You can go with ATI or NVidia for your graphics card.. which you choose is upwards to yous.

Installation is pretty like shooting fish in a barrel. You install the card in the slot, then install the drivers from the manufacturer's website. Then you game.
