If it is, what can I do to fix it that doesn't cost quite so much?
Is this why my gaming FPS is incredibly low? (9-12)

Yar, the Intel GMA3100 chipset is not supported for Legions: Overdrive. Basically, use at your own risk, but don't expect great performance out of it if it does run.
Basically, at this point your option would be to upgrade to a dedicated GPU, which may or may not be possible depending on your computer. If it's a laptop, you'll likely be out of luck, if it's a desktop your GPU options open significantly (depending on the case form factor).

Since it looks like you have a desktop, any state of the art graphics card will be expensive. This is a problem with me as well because mine sucks but I can't afford a new one at all so I am stuck with a ton of lag. But if you have a couple hundred bucks you should be able to get a good card.

Sounds like the cost of the computer...
It's a tower. The Dell Inspiron 530S. I would say "of course it's a desktop", but there's no ground for me to assume you would assume/know that it was. What are the technical details of "not supporting" a chipset family?
Most cards are about 100-200 US dollars, and some are as high as 500.

Googling the 530S shows that most half-height GPUs should work with it no problem. If I have some free time later, I'll see what's out there and what price range.
Don't be too concerned about having to spend a couple hundred dollars on a GPU, chances are a full size card wouldn't fit in your PC and half size cards generally are cheaper (they are less powerful as well, but still an improvement over your integrated chipset)

Here's the Radeon 5570, it appears to be one of the better low profile GPUs on the market atm.
