It will defiantly work with your motherboard, the only requirement is that it has sufficient power, and a PCI 3.0 or even a 2.0 is some cases. What graphic card are you pulling out and replacing in this unit?

a GT 640

 
Yes, they are compatible. All graphics cards with a PCI Express x16 are designed to be compatible with motherboards with that slot. There is another standard slot(AGP), but it hasn't really been a factor for five to ten years.
