Hello there, I'm currently looking to upgrade my current GTX 560ti (MSI) with a PowerColor HD 7970 soon and i'm just curious if I can use it with my motherboard, a MSI Z68 1155 Socket. I know the GTX 560ti is using PCIe 2.0 and the 7970 requires PCIe 3.0 which is my concern.

Can anyone shine some light on this?
