There is no PCIe slot on that board. So there's no cards you could get for it.

I'm sorry but your Motherboard does not have a PCI-e slot. Only PCI. Your card requires PCI-E 2.0

That slot is currently only good for Network cards, Sound cards. Not enough Bandwidth for GPU.

The best video cards that you will be able to get for a PCI slot are:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (512mb ddr3 / $65 USD)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (1gb ddr3 / $90 USD)

The 512 mb card is probably all your board can really use, the 1gb of memory would be useless and wouldn't really give you any additional performance. These cards are unfortunately on par with integrated graphics of Intel processors from Sandy Bridge, Intel HD3000 which past some basic simplistic games, won't be able to run much of anything past multimedia / streaming media.

You won't be turning that computer into a gaming rig. It pretty much is what it is. Most newer smartphones have more power. Any minor upgrade you could even do to it wouldn't be very noticeable and mostly a waste of money. It's time for a new computer.

you can'T add a PCIexpress slot to a motherboard, you would need an entirerly new PC to get that, new motherboard, new RAM, new CPU and then new graphics card...this PC you have cant do modern gaming anyway so i assume it is to play older games or to just browse the net and work? in that regard the suggestion made above by dwatterworth are bot great choices, as pointed out the 512mb card will fit your board and needs nicely....unless you plan on doing heavy gaming then in that case you need a new rig completely...
