Solution
The question we have here is if your motherboard features a PCIe x16 slot. While the chipset itself does support PCIe x16, it is not a "given" that the manufacturer included that slot on the motherboard.
I'll suggest downloading and running SPECCY https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download (the free version works for this) which will tell you all of your hardware including motherboard model (very helpful to us).

If it turns out that you do have a PCIe x16 slot available on your motherboard, the Forsa GT630 should work
After messing around in GD for a while, I decided the easiest way to navigate it is through google search. Look up your game of interest in google with PC Requirements (for example "GTA 4 PC requirements", no quotes) - one of the first returns should be GD after entering your system specs there (CPU, GPU and ram) it'll then move on to resolution - When I did that for your system and GTA 4 at 900dpi it said "This system may have troubles with Grand Theft Auto IV. But with some clever adjustments you may be able to run it."
 
hey dude you said f1 2010 wont work on mah pc it says "this game may have problems to run this game. but with some clever adjustments, this pc maybe able to run it." same with ac 1 to 3 and gta 4. does that mean i am free to buy these games and PLAY???
 
Why not just try it?

Through Steam, GOG and Origin you keep your games so even if your system didn't run you know you can still access those games you bought through these platforms on any system you upgrade to.

I think it's time to end this and leave it, you've swiped a long time here for an answer you obviously haven't tried yourself.
