Graphics card won't fit into motherboard...help?!

[Orcedi]

So yesterday my new-ish pc arrived.
Specs:
Intel Core i3-4170
Asus Geforce GTX 750-ti 2Gb OC Edition
MSI H81M-P33 ( microATX, socket 1150)
Seagate HDD SATA 1TB 7200 rpm
2x Crucial Memory DIMM 4GB DDR3

Only problem is that the graphics card has PCI Express x16 slot while the motherboard has the regular PCI one.
Can I buy a new motherboard with PCI Express x16 and still keep the i3 and DDR3 ram? If so then what do you guys recommend?
Should I just buy a weaker graphics card? If so then which one?
Take note that I can't really afford an i5 and DDR4 ram.

That MOBO has a PCI 16x slot. What is it not fitting?

The long blue slot on the motherboard is a PCI-E slot.

That motherboard should have a PCI-E x16 slot, according to Newegg. It's PCI-E 2.0, whereas your card is PCI-E 3.0, but there should not be any incompatibility there. The literal connection does not fit into the slot?

I'm embarrassed, but also relieved at the same time! phew I really thought I had to return it.
