It's a bit difficult to say definitively "no" to *any* hardware, unless it has a bit "Linux Compatible" sticker slapped on it by the manufacturer .. but I've not come across a "PC" in the last 10 years that wouldn't run Linux. Certainly the CPU is fine, nvidia Geforce graphics usually work Ok as Nvidia specifically supports Linux.
