Unfortunately, it would be a gamble.

There are very few manufactured PC's that will accept a video card that has only UEFI BIOS support.

Your PC has the version 8 BIOS and is UEFI, so it still might work. It gets a bit dodgy when you have to disable secure boot in BIOS. That should allow the video card to be recognized in the pre-boot sequence before getting to a Windows login screen on your PC.

That bit about your PC only accepting a video card with 2GB of discrete memory is bogus information.

If you want a powerful video card that will play virtually any game on the market and that will work with you PC then go with an AMD\ATI Radeon HD PCIe x16 version. 

Take a look at Sapphiretech.com.

Look at the r7 300 and r9 300 series cards. Check the specs to ensure that the candidate card has UEFI and legacy BIOS support.I suggest using a version with 4GB or more onboard discrete memory.

There are also Hybrid video cards that are produced by MSI.

Take a look to NewEgg.com after you have developed your list of upgrade candidate PCIe x 16 video card with hybrid BIOS. Dual BIOS on the video cards is a misnomer. It just has the extra BIOS for overclocking, not for UEFI\Legacy BIOS support.

You will need a PSU that has 8 and 6 PCIe power connectors for the beastie cards with 4 GB and more iscrete memory onboard.

YOur PC does have a PCIe Gen 3 slot.  That is a strange and inaccurate ststement in the specs you linked to.

"1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 3.0 for i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge processors, all others Gen 2.0)  "

See the video section at the following URL for the motherboard. There is one PCIe x 16 Gen3 slot on the motherboard.

i had a gtx 980ti it was working good without any problem 

and i sold it now i have the old GPU  soon i'll buy the gtx 1060

i dont know what UEFI but  can i go with gtx 1060 ?

without any problem ?

If the GTX 980ti worked, then a  GTX 1050ti 4-8GB card should work as well.

Unfortunately, there aren't any GTX 1060ti cards on the market.
