I can't see why it would not work. Give it a try and see!
It will work with any PCI-e slot regardless of it's generation.
Correct, any Video/Graphics/display card made for a PCIe X16 slot should work. But it's important to know there's other, different, PCIe slots such as X1 and X4.
Your Mobo's not the problem, your power supply might. There's a power plug on the top of the card that needs to have all pins filled by a compatible cable.
How about a picture of the slot? Is that a newish motherboard or an older one? The PCIe X16 does appear somewhat similar to the older AGP slot which won't accept that type card. Details are critical. Sometimes the PCIe X16 card can be hard to push into the PCIe X16 slot.
That does appear to be a PCIe X16 slot while the 2 short ones are most likely PCIe X1. The bottom slot appears to be the older PCI slot.
