Hi there, I'd like to know if my current system could handle the graphics card being upgraded to a gtx 780. If incompatible parts how much of a performance decrease would there be if still used with the gtx 780?eg pci express 2.0 instead of 3.0 on a newer motherboard

NVIDIA GTX780 3GB Gigabyte OC PCIe Video Card PN N780OC-3GD

System Configuration:
Corsair ATX Graphite 600T Case
Intel S1366 Core i7 950 3.06GHz Quad Core CPU
ASUS S1366 P6X58D-E Motherboard
DDR3 6GB G.Skill 2000MHz PC16000 Ripjaws RAM Kit
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm 32M SATA HDD
NVIDIA GTX470 1280MB Gigabyte
Thermaltake 775 Watt Toughpower XT ATX Power Supply

Also wondering if my cpu would limit the performance boost in high end games? Eg bf3,crysis 3,witcher 2

It would increase performance alot, the 2.0 and 3.0 dont give a huge boost or a noticible one that i can tell, it is just the bus speeds.
