You can technically use any PCIe x16 card (Gen 1, 1.1, 2, 2.1, or 3). However you need to measure the case to find out the max length, and buy a new PSU to power the GPU.

Any PCIe card will work. Make sure you have enough room in the case for the card to fit, from the back panel across in inches. Plus you will have to get a new quality power supply, that one has a 300W. Most OEM computer have crap power supplies and probably has no where near 300W on the 12V rail..
