Ok, did a quick search on the computer. It does have a modern graphics card port (PCI Express x16), which means any modern graphics card could fit into the motherboard. And your CPU is ok to handle a low-medium end graphics card.
But there is an issue. The power supply that comes with the computer is very weak. And it is not going to be able to handle a modern graphics card. You could get a new graphics card, but it would be a graphics card that isn't suppose to do any gaming or anything like that. Normal internet searching and watching online videos, maybe a little minecraft, but not much more than that.
So the best card without getting a new power supply would be getting a Radeon HD 7750. Still a pretty good card, could run modern games with 30+ FPS on low or medium. But this card calls for a 400W PSU. So its risky running this thing on there. Its possible the system could get fried, but that is rare.
But that power supply is very low, I recommend getting a new PSU for any graphics card that is better than this one. Even some that are worse still take more power from the power supply.

Yep. The only compatibility issues with computers is the slot that the computer goes in. And you motherboard has a PCI Express x16, which is the standard graphics card slot. There are different visions on the slots, 1.0a, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0. Since this card is a 3.0 card, then it will work in the slot you have. Even if its a 1.0a. The 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with the 1.0a slots.
