Ok your motherboard will support any PCI-e graphics card (99% of the cards you can buy today) so any card you buy will fit. However the size of your case (the tower it all sits in) will determin what card you can install. With the little info you have given it hard to say what cards will fit in your PC. Most PC cases will fit most low-mid range graphics cards Mid-high end cards tend to be longer and wont fit in some micro cases without cutting out drive bays ect. Also the Wattage of your Power supply will play a big role in what card you can get. Low wattage 350 -400w and under wont be enough for some gaming cards.

In short your motherboard will support any Graphics card. Your PSU and case may not. Read the specs of the graphics cards you looking at foe the PSU requirements and the card dimensions.
