I have a GeForcce 8200A motherboard and I want to upgrade my graphics card to use with BIM software. What card is compatible with my motherboard?

Some more details would help for us to help. ANY current gen PCI-e card is compatible with your mobo but I ahve find that modern AMD cards are glitchy with the Gforce chipsets of older boards.

What PSU do you have? An exact model or FULL specs would be great.
What are your FULL pc specs?

Thanks for your help. I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.70 GHz with 8GB RAM. My PSU is is a 370.5W Coolmax Model:AP-450X(CX-400B).

OK well based on that, I would suggest you consider either an HD7750 or a GTX650.

To be on the save side rather get the GTX650.

What is your budget?

We are trying to keep it around $500.

Wow that's quite the budget for just a GPU. The problem is that your CPU would hold back most modern GPUs, so keeping it cheap makes sense or spending more for a whole new modern system is even better.

Let me ask you a few questions if I may.

What games are you looking to play and at what resolution?
Would you consider spending a little more to build up a new system other than recycling a a few component(probably just HDD if it is SATA).

Also...here's a website of recommended and certified Graphics cards for the Autodesk Revit software (BIM). Based on your initial response would any of these cards work with my system?

Yes, although they do not list the GTX650 specifically, it will provide CUDA, which is what Revit requires to run well. If you will not be playing games. Then a very cheap card will help, going for a Quadro series card is out of your budget or just not worth it.

So if you do not game AT ALL. Then go for something like the GTX260, if you can find one at a decent price...

I'm not a gamer so this should work. Thanks for your help Novuake.
