Yes it will work, you will need a SATA cable but you should be able to use the one that was attached to the DVD drive that came with the computer.  If this is a second drive then you will need to go and buy a SATA cable.  These are very cheap and can be found most anywhere that sells computer hardware.  You will not need any software, the computer will recognize and load drivers when you install and boot up.
