@MRMWFIXIT, welcome to the forum.
The newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS. Your motherboard has a standard BIOS. It can't be upgraded. The last cards that don't require UEFI are the GTX 660/670's. I like EVGA cards. I suggest that you contact their Tech Support (1-888-881-3842) for help with choosing the best card for your system.
This will require a power supply unit (PSU) upgrade, as well. The PSU in the computer is only 250W. Most newer cards require at least 400W to operate properly. I like Corsair products. I recommend at least 500W. A modular PSU would be best. This allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary and makes for better airflow.
