Yes, the 8800GTX uses a PCI-E connector and the mobo in question has one, as long as it's empty your card will work.

and is 450W enough to run GeForce 8800 GTX?

It needs a PSU of atleast 450W, if the PSU is some off brand grey one it won't work but if it's something like a corsair vs450 and it should be ok considering the test system had an i7 which draws a lot more power than a core 2 duo. But if it's an off brand PSU don't even try, you might fry something.

Depends what you want to play, if you only want to play games older than about 2013 you'll be fine if you can get it very cheaply. but honestly you won't get far with it and a core 2 duo. I would try to save up some money and at the very least upgrade the cpu to a Q6600 get a 500W+ PSU and get an RX 460.
