Yes. It's just another drive.
Primarily, you just have to worry about the physical mounting. Most modern cases have mount spaces for 2.5" drives. If not, you can get a mount tray.
I have one PC, with an ex-laptop drive, held in place with wire ties. Been there for 18 months in daily use.

If it is a standard 2.5 inch SATA 3 6Gb/s ssd then it will work in a desktop pc. Standard 2.5 inch SATA 3 6Gb/s desktop ssd's and laptop ssd's are pretty much interchangeable. The laptop versions are usually designed to use less power than desktop versions.
If it is a standard 50mm mSATA ssd, then it could work in a desktop pc with an adapter. The mSATA ssd's are small versions designed for use with small mobile pc's such as notebooks, netbooks, tablets, and ultrabooks. Here is an example of an adapter that performs reasonably well:

Whatever drive....a 64GB is too small. You can squeeze the OS, and maybe one game on that.
In your budget of $60? Not much. You need at least a 120GB drive for the OS and applications. Games/music/movies live elsewhere on a large HDD.
Increase your budget to $90, and you can get a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB.

Rational size, and SATA III rather than SATA II.
