hey guys. just a quick question to ask if the asrock m3a ucc mobo might be bottlenecking my system at any point other than the hard drives, such as PCI-E lane bandwidth and northbridge. the 480x chipset is pretty old and I'm worried it might not be able to deliver the right PCI-E bandwidth to my card. please advise if there's a bottleneck on the card or any other point in the system? specs as listed below.
2x 1TB SATA II 7200 RPM 32mb cache (non-raid) <--- I know this could be a bottleneck but only for loading times, I'm fine with that.

corsair tx850 v2 PSU
8GB g-skill ripjaws 1600 mhz (8-8-8-24)
radeon HD 6870 1GB @ stock
AMD phenom II x4 965 BE @ 3.7Ghz, 1.35v
OS is windows 7 x64 (if it matters in this context)
