It should work assuming it fits in your case and your power supply can deliver at least 500w.

i was told that it wouldnt run that well cause it would be bottle necked by the cpu i have a 650w power supply and my case wil fit it. even with the bottlenecking it will still be faster right ?

Yes, it will still be better than 7800.
