If the card isn't too long, it should be fine. It is 247mm (9 3/4") long. But expect some CPU bottleneck in some games at some settings with your i5-2400. Especially on busy servers with 64 players.
That card requires a high quality 400W or better PSU with a 6-pin PCIe connector. I would not go that small however. This Seasonic 520W PSU should fit the bill w/o breaking the bank.

That card is even longer (11"), but would be better if you want to avoid CPU bottleneck. Personally, at those spiked prices, I would go with the GTX 1060, tho.
Why not first shut down the PC, open the side panel and see how much room you have from the rear expansion slot to the drive cage (or whatever the card would run into first)?
