It will work but your CPU will bottleneck in some games.

Also remember the card will take 1GB out of your address space in a 32 bit OS so if you have 4 GB RAM you can only use 3 GB. This is generally not a problem but avoid cards with more then 1GB VRAM on 32 bit OS.

If you have a decent 400w or better PSU you will be fine in that way.

Yep - 500w will be fine. Just be sure to get a quality power supply that has at least 1 6+2 pin PCIe power connector. Seasonic, corsair, antec, etc. Also, be sure to download the correct driver (32 bit). Ram is fine, but if you can afford to get 8gb ( 2x4 gb ), it wouldn't hurt.

Since Windows does not support PAE, no.
But 3GB is enough for most things even now.
