Compatible Graphics Card for an Old Motherboard

I found an old computer in a junk pile a few days ago. It boots, but has no on-board graphics and was missing whatever graphics card it had. I don't know exactly what cards are compatible with it, and would appreciate any recommendations for a card just to get it up and running again.

 

The motherboard is a Dell Foxconn LS-36, and the expansion slots say "PCIe2" (not sure if this is different from pcie 2.0)

 

Here are some pictures:

Sorry for the poor lighting. Thanks for any input!

looks like the slots are labeled, and from what i can read, the black and blue slots should be good 'nuff to toss in any modern GPU.

It has PCI-e 2.0 16x so you can put pretty much any GPU made after 2009 you want in it
