I'm trying to upgrade our basic PC in the basement so I can play games like overwatch and league of legends on it. I want to add a graphics card but all of them seems to be too big to fit the motherboard I have. The case is plenty big enough but it seems that if I were to try and put a card in the slot the ram slots would get in the way. Ive links to pictures and I believe I have a 6 inch gap at most. What should I do?

It will fit just fine. You might have to make sure the RAM is in place before putting the video card into its slot, but there are standards motherboard manufacturers follow. It might look tight, but it will fit. Most card's height goes from the slot to the bottom of the case, not the other way around. Even with a backplate it should fit.

EDIT:
I found this picture of that same motherboard with a card that's longer than the motherboard itself. It fits just fine:
