What is the brand of the motherboard, and is that the exact model? Nothing comes up when I try and search for it. Is this motherboard from a computer such as Dell, HP, or some other brand like that?

Pci-e lanes are backwards compatible so if it fits then it will work. The only thing you need to consider is that if your gpu is pci-e gen3 and your mobo pci-e slot is gen2 your gpu won't perform its best because it won't be given the full bandwidth of a gen3 pci-e slot.
