You need to make sure the card fits in the case, that is a small case and it may not have enough clearance for the fan and length of the card.
It probably will not work with the power supply, it looks like you only have a 200 watt power supply, that may not be enough to power anything but the weakest video cards out there. Even the lowest GT630 model can use 50 watts of power at load, which will be enough to crash your system.

If you have a 200 watt power supply, you should upgrade to this 250 watt model http://www.amazon.com/Compaq-403777-001-403984-001-unavailable-Enlarge/dp/B0077BVGVC

Then you can install a video card. I suggest the Radeon 6570 over the nVidia 630.

Shouldn't he get at least a 350W model to be safe?

If they make one for that size case, the bigger the better of course. A 6570 will run fine on a 250 watter in this system. 6570 uses max 45 watts. If the system runs fine on a 200 watt PSU now, it will run just as well on a 250 with a lower end video card.
