Spec

Your computer spec looks better then mine, I can only suggest you load it and see. It should be OK.
 
You will most likely want a dedicated graphics card. The Intel express chipset integrated will not be enough to run the game without serious lag, although trainz is more CPU dependent then anything else a half way decent graphics card will also do wonders.
 
What part of the computer makes it unupgradeable? Is it in too small of a case? No expansion slots on the motherboard?
 
You should be fine, with limitations. My laptop runs 2006 okay with an integrated graphics chipset, but does slow down in areas with dense scenery.
 
It's a Gateway,a computer that has all the tech stuff in a shell,with the screen in the shell that has the tech stuff

Edit:Out of a 100,what would my experience with this game be

You didn't mention laptop (notebook) or desktop (tower case) but that integrated graphics chip is a real question mark for any kind of game. If you have money to spare, go ahead and buy the game, see if it will run. If not, you need a "benchmark" to test your computer. This one;

Is the one most gamers swear by, it's a huge download and pushes my system to the limit. A smaller free benchmark;

Will give you a general idea with less download time. On my system TS2010 and TS12 run like a pregnant dachshund (slow and clumsy), and the novabench results look like this;

So pay particular attention to the graphics test result, if you can't at least match my score of 71, your experience with any simulation game will be something like 5 out of 100.
