Installed RAM 8.00 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
Motherboard - Intel DH61WW

That motherboard has a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for a video graphics card. Details here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/54876/intel-desktop-board-dh61ww.html

What's the budget?

Something you may want to consider, intel stopped all support for their motherboards. There are no downloads ie drivers available for your board.
Next issue; that is a micro board. Boards like that are designed for basic use ie running office, email, etc. They lack the heavy duty pw regulation, heavy duty capacitors, extra cooling of a performance motherboard.

In short, IF you are intending on gaming with this board, you may be disappointed.

Even if you were to install a good-performing graphics card and max out the motherboard with 16 GB of DDR3-1066/1333 RAM, the processor in your desktop computer is very weak for modern gaming.

You won't need to worry about Intel support the latest drivers for that board are 2017 and MS actually has newer drivers for that series in a fresh vanilla Windows 10 (current W10 iterations that is) installation. Micro boards can be just as good as full ATX boards and for the last several years with Intel Z series, H series, AMD X series and B series there are usually mATX versions of the same full ATX gaming models and there is no performance or quality difference at all- mATX boards can save you space in your case and are easier to build with and 99% of folks do not add PCIe cards anymore other than possible a wireless card or sound card. I3 2120 is a rather weak CPU for gaming performance though.
