The motherboard of your PC has no real graphics expansion slot:

There are only PCI slots, so, the 9400GT PCI card will work but NOT a PCIe card like the GTS 250. Take note that the PCI bus is inherently slow for 3D graphics. Do not expect anything spectacular from the 9400GT especially in PCI format. The slow PCI bus just bottlenecks any good graphics card.
