Can I use high graphic card like DDR5's?
But it says DDR3 somewhere on my mobo, I don't really understand.
Current graphic card GT210 ASUS

Yes. Graphic card memory and system memory have nothing to do with each other. You can use a GDDR5 graphics card on a motherboard that accepts only DDR3 system memory.

Yes you can when it says ddr3 on the mobo that's just for the motherboard ram. The gddr5 is graphics memory on the graphics card itself so it doesn't effect the mobo it effects the GPU's internal memory controller

Powersupply 350w
Should I upgrade it?

Yes you should. If you are running a high end card you would be lucky for that system NOT to start. If it did it would most likely blow out. I'm assuming it's a cheap OEM PSU. Go for a quality 600 watt Bronze plus. Such as Seasonic, Corsair, or EVGA.

You can get a GTX750Ti for $130 to $155 that will work great. If you don't need anything more then your power supply should be sufficient.

I recommend the Asus GTX750Ti ($155): http

If you get a more powerful card then you'll need a better power supply.
