560 ti upgrade to 660 ti??

[bigbodsquad]

I just found out I can put a gtx 660 ti into a pci 2.0 slot and I am just trying to find out if I were to just swap out the cards would everything be alright? Also would it even be worth it I can play most of my games maxed. I think i fucked my self over getting the 560ti in the first place but im pretty confident I can sell it for 150$. Will it run good in a pci express 2.0 slot also? Thank you for your time and answers. Just a quick edit how future proof is this card?

System specs

i5 2500k @ 3.30 GHZ
GTX 560 Ti
BIOSTAR H61ML LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
8GB ram
1 tb hard drive
corsair cx750

Yes, it's compatible with pcie 2.0, pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible with previous pcie.
So you don't need to worry, if you can sell it at that price, it's worth getting the 660 ti, it will give you a significant boost in performance.

Do you think my power supply can hold it's own?

There's no new gpus coming this soon, either the new nvidia series or the amd series, reports(rumors) showed only for the Q4 of 2013 for amd, from nvidia there's no word when it will be a estimate date.
So you might just grab now the 660 ti.
