Euros narrows things down SOME, but knowing what country you are in exactly would be especially helpful in finding options specific to your region. Prices and available hardware are tremendously variable from region to region.

Your system is rather old ~ 10-11 years.
Max ram supported by your board is 8GB DDR3.
I wouldn't put anything more than GTX 750 ti/ GT 1030 in there.

Something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Memory: Corsair - Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€49.49 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GT 1030 2 GB Video Card (€80.16 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Total: €129.65
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

thank you so much but i found a 4gb 750 ti should i buy that one will it run and thank you so much again

Yes. That works too.

You might want to take the money you have and save it for a bit longer.
You will get much more performance by replacing your entire system for $1000, then adding a $350 GPU.

A 750 TI would be a HUGE improvement over what you have now, but might require an upgrade of your power supply. A GT 1030 probably won't run in that motherboard, but a GTX 1050 will also be a great improvement and NOT require an upgrade of your power supply in most cases.

Knowing the EXACT model number (Which can be found ON the power supply unit specifications decal located ON the power supply) would be critical to knowing exactly what options would be recommended for your system or whether you might also need to change the power supply as well before adding a higher performance graphics card or any other hardware.

That doesn't tell anything. Google search doesn't give results on that.
Can you make a photo of psu label and post it here?

There should be label with info on it:

PSU model name,​

available wattage on different voltage rails.​

​

Could be on the other side of PSU.

 

[Darkbreeze]

That is not the information decal. Should look something like this:

or this

Just as examples. There will be differences in the label between brands and models but they will all look SOMETHING like that and have the model and specifications listed. That is law. It HAS to be there unless somebody removed it.

Unplug the power with the unit off, remove the four screws on the back of the case that hold the PSU in and turn the unit until you can see the label.
