you will be ok, if i'm not mistaken it is soemething like PCI 8x 2.0 what gives you maximum 2% performance loss, so it will be nothing noticable you can go for it.

PCIe above version 2.1 may create compatibility problems with PCIe version 1.0.

7750/7770 cards are PCIe of version 3.0. Therefore, before you buy one of them, please ask the retailer about your concerns on compatibility and returning the card if there is a problem.

You should also check if there is a BIOS or firmware update on M/B manufacturer's web site that may bring a solution to compatibility issues.
