at the moment i have:

CPU: AMD phenom ii x4 955 (3.2ghz, quad core)
Mobo: Asus M4A785T-M
GPU: GeForce gt 520
RAM: 4GB
PCU: Codegen 470W


im not impressed with the graphics and the lags that Ive been getting are annoying, unless im on like 800x600 resolution, so i m thinking of getting the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GDDR5, is this a good idea, or will my motherboard support it?

Ps: ill be using the 4 pin to 6 pin converter for the GPU.

Thanks.
