The main thing you need is to find a graphics card that supports legacy bios as from what I can tell that motherboard doesn't support UEFI which is needed for most modern graphics cards.

The newest series of cards that should work are the Geforce 1000 series, although that processor is going to hold those cards back in most cases. Something like a GTX 1050 would probably work well, you could also look at cards form the GTX 900 series I would avoid older Geforce cards than that due to poor driver support in more recent titles.

On the AMD side, you would need to stick to older cards, cards from the HD R9 200 series (e.g. R9 280 or R9 290) as well as the previous gen HD 7000 (e.g. 7970 / 7950) would be worth looking at. Don't look at cards older than the 7000 series - those cards still get driver support however the HD6000 / 5000 series are based on a different architecture and are no longer supported (unless you want to use the machine for retro games).

The other thing to check before buying a new gpu is to make sure you power supply is up to it - cards like the R9 290 series use a fair bit of power and need external power connectors from the PSU. A newer lower tier card like the 1050 is less power hungry so will work with weaker supplies.

How much of VRAM on graphic card would I need, however?

Thank you in advance.

What games do you want to play? What monitor do you use?

I would like to max out my PC above. I do not plan to use 4K monitor, but I will need to buy 32 inches monitor soon. I would like to play the game "AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead ＆ Undressed" or above.

Thank you.
