1279MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (EVGA)

I made a thread 12 hours ago and now I have decided to buy a GTX 780 instead because of it's 3GB VRAM and better peformance. My GTX 570 is faulty and I would rather replace it than pay $340 NZD to repair it. I was wondering if the GPU will be compatible with the mobo and CPU.

Thanks!

Yes, I was aware of that. Thanks for the swift response! When do you think I would need to upgrade my CPU?

Thanks once again.
 
I thought it was established that a gtx680 or 7970 was already starting to saturate PCIe 2.0 bandwidth? given that the gtx 780 is significantly faster than a 680, wouldn't it be held back by this? (at least 5% or so)
