Your PC has a PCI express 16x slot, and your case supports full size slots, so that will work fine, but why not get something a little more useful?

Thanks for the help but I still got one question.

Will the Gigabyte GF 8400GS 512MB PCI-E Heat Pipe HDCP 8400 512 be compatible to run Vista and have the Aero Experience?
