Yes all of those cards will run fine because PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatible with
PCI-E 1.0,however check your power supply just to make sure you can handle those

Thank you. I have a 500 W power suppl . Will that be enough to supply power to the graphjics cards 4890 5750 5870 etc. ??

HD 5870:
http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5870/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-5870-system-requirements.aspx
"500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)"
So if you have 2 75w 6-pin connectors then you will be fine with 5870(and other two cards as well)
