You will need to see what power supply you have because you will most likely need to upgrade it also the HD 7770 is a better card for the same price.

ATI and PCE, what do they even exist. If he has a graphics card allready it is quite safe to say its a PCI 2.0 or 3.0 and on most cards it dosent matter which one it is also nvidia and AMD cards both use the same port so it dosent matter which brand you use.

Yes you could use say a PCI-e 3.0 card on a PCI-e 1.0 slot because they are backwards/forwards compatible but you would most likley get a performance decrease. Most cards also need a 6 pin power cable which plugs into them so you will probably need a bater power supply.
