I am trying to get one more year out of this build.
Will this board run this card?
I currently have two GTX 280 in SLI.
I know the board is only Express 2.0 but is should run Express 3.0....

i7 920 @ 2.76 GHz

Why would you want to down grade to a Single GTX 760 from a crossfire pair of AMD 280's?? A even a Single AMD 280 is faster than a GTX 760, so, your move would be serious downgrade:

If you want to actually Upgrade, you'd need to Goto GTX 980 or SLI GTX 970's (but only need that if your on a 1440P monitor). An AMD 295x2 is also in the same league.

I've tried a 295x2 and an SLI 970 setup on my i7-920. Massive FPS improvements over the CF Sapphire 280X setup I was running (which was Plenty for 1080P, BUT, I moved to a 1440P monitor 1st and needed more than the CF 280X's could deliver to max out my games)
