It will work, but there would be some severe bottleneck. That card is way too much for the E7400, you should be looking at a 260x at most

yes, it will..
pcie 3.0 have a nice backward compability with pcie 1.1
but, your current processor severely bottleneck that card..so, there's no point to upgrade right now except you upgrade whole of your system..

btw, what is your powersupply brand..?
Some generic 500w PSU will not work...

from wikipedia..
"A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources."

that's means your current processor will hold back your graphic card true performance..
