Motherboard: Yes
PSU: Yes
PSU has the required cables and power to run the card, and your motherboard has the PCIe lanes needed to install the card. The dark blue lane is the one you need (The longer one). No bottlenecking from that port, even though it states it is 3.0/2.0 (Not sure what it means, but if it is 2.0 there's no performance loss in reality)

It's because the CPU provides PCIE lanes as well as chipset. Because that board supports two gens of processors, 2nd and 3rd, the PCIE standard changed for 3rd gen, and PCIE 3.0 was released. The board's chipset and the 2nd gen processors were both made using the PCIE 2.0 standard, but 3rd gen CPU's offered 16 PCIE lanes.
This will become relevant again soon with the imminent arrival of PCIE 4.0. You will find there are PCIE 3.0 boards with support for PCIE 4.0 processors. Although this diagram isnt PCIE 2.0, it gives you an idea of how both chipset and CPU provide PCIE lanes to a system..
