Open your case and see if it looks like this photo: http://data.stuartconnections.com/object/image?p=10873&i=5
If so, any low-profile version of that card should fit fine. But you may run into a problem with the small power supply in the desktop. The R7-240 is a 30W card maxed out. That's an additional 2.5A on the +12V rail. I suspect you won't have any problem, but if you keep getting shutdowns or reboots when gaming, it will probably be due to the weak PSU.
