Can the GA-MA770T-UD3P gigabyte motherboard run a geforce gtx 660 ti graphics card?
Im currently using the GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard, but i am highly interested in replacing by crappy geforce 240 card.
If this motherboard does not support the card, what would be a good option in terms of upgrading? Im also running an AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor and am curious to know what proccessors i may be able to upgrade too?

Yes.
Basically PCIe 3.0 doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 2.0
16 lanes of PCIe 2.0 (what you currently have) = 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0 (what that card is designed to run at)
That card is not powerful enough to completely use 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0, so your 16 lanes of PCIe 2.0 are enough![:)]( ":)")
You will not have any kind of throttling.
