You don't identify the CPU - you'll need to know that to confirm it is 64bit capable. Googling the motherboard and the supported CPUs suggests there's a good chance it'll support 64bit OSes though.
Win7 x64 predates UEFI, but I think supports GPT partitioning; UEFI booting may have been added in SP1 or other updates. Win8/8.1 were UEFI capable so support GPT partitioning. You'll still need to google to confirm that your proposed partitioning will work though because lots of BIOSes had problems around that period as GPT support and later UEFI were first introduced. I have a Win7 X64 system running on a later UEFI capable board in MBR mode though so that definitely can work.
Lite 5.x runs quite well even with 2GB of RAM on systems such as yours though browsers with lots of tabs open on current bling infested websites can consume RAM like it's going out of fashion on any OS. Your mother board can support up to 8GB of RAM (i.e 2x4GB sticks) if you can find a source at a reasonable price; 8GB definitely makes Win7 x64 happier too.
