So i have a Acer G7760 mainboard and a GTX 780. Just ordered them, and I'm curious if the motherboard is compatible with the GPU. I red on the local forums that it's not really working, but I want to hear some english opinions about this ...

The info posted is somewhat vague since there isn't much info spouted out when you Google G7760 mainboard though upon searching for specs on the G77660 Predator, you seem to have a Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge platform in your hands. Depending on your CPU, chipset and your PCI-E connectivity being above v2.0 then you're more than fine running that GTX780. An i7 in either 2700K or 3770K with an overclock should remove any bottlenecks on your CPU side.

It would've been a better idea if you inquired about your product(s) before you made the purchase. I don't suppose you can return them now if they aren't seen to be compatible with each other....if that day were to come?

On a side note, PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 slots so the thing to note is to relieve any bottleneck points on your CPU and platform side which may also include having ram running at 2133MHz but I doubt that your motherboard can run it at that speed. It would be a good idea to pass on your full system specs though.
