Oh wait a minute. You havn't told me your motherboard type. And by the looks of your other components your motherboard will only support a AGP card. That one you have selected is a PCI-Express card

Hmm strange a PCI-E board that only supports DDR ram, never seen one before (usually they support DDR2 and above). Well then yes excuse my previous statement but you will be able to run a PCI-E card like the one above.

As for the power requirements, you should still be able to run the card as your other components are rather outdated, thus consuming less power than higher end components.
