Hey guys, I got help building my first computer here in 2009 and this is what I went with:

Cooler Master Full ATX Tower
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield
Asus P6T LGA 1366
G Skill Ripjaws Series 12GB F3-12800CL9T
Corsair Force Series 180GB SATA III SSD
Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W
GTX 275 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI
25.5 inch Asus Monitor

With that being said I know my graphics card is getting a little out of date and I'd like to play BF4 when it comes out (doesn't have to be maxed out settings, but like to have it operate at least high with good FPS). My question is if I upgraded to like a $300 video card, would the rest of my build still be ok to maximize the performance of the video card? Or the rest of my build is now too old to use one of the current video cards out there and that if i want to be able to enjoy BF4 at high settings, I should consider getting a whole new build? Sorry if my question is kind of open ended, but appreciate your thoughts, thanks!
 
Actually - the video cards say they're PCI 3.0 - my mobo is PCI 2.0 is that going to be a problem?
