[Graphics Cards] Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 with G31M-S2L Motherboard

[rahul_2013]

I have the following PC Configuration :-

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Motherboard G31M-S2L
Expansion Slots PCI Express X16 slot
400W Power Supply


I wanted to upgrade my system for gaming purpose. I am thinking of upgrading the PSU ,Graphics Card & Cabinet with the following Config :-

Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU
Cooler Master Elite 311 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card


I was wondering if is it a wise desicion to go for Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 because its a GDDR5 card with PCI Vers 3 & my motherboard has only a PCI Ver 1 slot ?
Also my processor is Intel Core 2 Quad with 2.33 GHz .

Yes easily it will work hd 7770 takes 80w so it is more than enough.even corsair cx 430w is fine.
