All modern graphics cards use a 16x PCIe connector, so they will all be compatible with your motherboard as long as it has a PCIe 16x slot. Since most motherboards do, it is very unlikely your motherboard to be incompatible. To make sure, though, I'd need to know the exact model of your motherboard; you only listed the chipset it has.

The Power Supply Unit, or PSU (not battery), is probably going to be more of a limit. A 500W capacity should be good for GTX 650, but the quality of the power supply could still be bad and cause problems. Do you know what brand and mode the PSU is?

That is still unfortunately not enough. That is just the power specifications of the PSU. Do you see any sort of brand name on the PSU? If you can find that, or a model or model number, we might be able to get more info
