I'm new to hardware, so sorry if this question may seem obvious or dumb...
I was wondering if my motherboard could handle a sound card.
My motherboard is an Intel G33, looks similar to this (but isn't exactly this board):

Here is the sound card I'm thinking about getting (it's on sale at Best Buy, so yea...):

Here're my problems:
1. Here's a picture of the inside of my computer:

Will the sound card fit in there, below my Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT? Will there be enough room?
2. I can't find if the card needs a connector directly to the card, or will the card get the power from the motherboard itself.
Thanks in advance to any and all that helps!
P.s. I'm new to building computers, and only know very little, please help me...
