What is your budget?
What is the exact name of your PSU?

PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 cards will work just fine with this motherboard.
A Sapphire HD6970 Dual-X is a great option for a graphics card.I would recommend that one.

thanks alot for the help i have got some last questions

1 : Are you 100 % sure that a gtx750 ti will work
2 : what are more options

 

[LukaBoki]

GTX 750 Ti is a PCIe 3.0,so it won't work. 😛
Sapphire Dual-X HD6970 is a great option for a PCIe 2.0 card.
You will also need a new PSU,since I'm guessing that your 400W one isn't a quality one.
XFX TS 550W is a great option.
Get those two and you will be good to go.

but isn't a pk5pl am se pcie version 1 ? for all this time i have been googlin and can only find pcie version 1 ? because i need to make 100 % sure that the card wil work with a 400 watt psu and my motherboard i am on vacation and if i go home i cant bring it back

 

[LukaBoki]

Then a HD6570 is a great option.

 

[ozal]

and the hd6570 will work 100 % ?

You can't get either one of these three cards,since your PSU isn't a quality one and your mobo would bottleneck them.
I've searched around and found that the 9600 GSO or a GT620 are your best choices.
The 9600 GSO is a bit better,so get than one.
Also,if you don't have 4 GB of RAM,then get it.You won't be able to play these games you want with 2GB of RAM.
You will also need one 6-pin connector with the 9600 GSO,so make sure you have one.
All the best.
