Can you upload a photo of your motherboard and the graphics card?That will help us determine what exactly is causing the problem/mismatch between your mobo and gpu.

You need a PCI Express x16 slot for your graphics card. Unfortunately, your motherboard only supports PCI Express X1 and standard PCI card. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to add a graphics card to your PC using your current motherboard.
