Of course you would.

Why how many are there? Two types right! PCIe and AGP, AGP has
now finished on new motherboards.

Yes, but there are widely different physical "footprints" for PCIe
cards that might impact your decision. Some are longer than others
and might prove difficult to install in some chassis and some take
up two slot positions to accomodate the cooling scheme on the card.

The physical slot is to PCIe standard.

Sure, but that's not relevant

Its not a gamers card thats needed also if there is not the room in
the case its too small for cooling anyway.

No, no one said a gamer's card is needed, just that the available PCIe cards
vary greatly in physical size and that some might not fit well with the OP's
present setup. And, FWIW, smaller cases can be cooled quite effectively.
