ok right now i want to upgrade my graphics

My current setup consists of

GAGIBYTE 965P-DS3
Q6600 @ 3.6 ghz
2 GB PAtriot extreme DDR-800 4-4-4-12
8800 GTS 640
OCZXGAMESTREAM 700

Would i bottleneck the 280 GTX with my x16 PCI-E 1.1 slot? or would i need PCI-E 2 to get full functionality?

Also i do not have a 8 pin i only have 2 6 pin.

the 2x6pin to 8 pin adapter included in EVGA cards will work right?
