Z800 HP Desktop bottleneck

I am wondering if I can pop a 1050ti or a gtx960 into an old Z800 HP desktop. The graphics card seems to physically fit in the large PCIe slot fine. I'm just wondering if the motherboard will bottleneck the speed of the graphics card because its old. The motherboard is an E139765 I believe. The PCIe slot on the motherboard (the one that I plugged the graphics card into) reads "J41 Slot 2 PCIe 2x16 75w". I believe the model number from HP is FF825AV. 

 

What do people think? Can I just boot it up with a windows 10 hard drive and play some games at a 1050ti level?

The Z800 is still very capable despite it's age being an LGA1366 system. You're only getting PCI-E Gen 2 at 16X speeds, which is roughly PCI-E 3.0 8x. This is fine for basically anything GTX 1080/equivalent or lesser. Depending at CPU(s), you can go well above 1050Ti levels.

 

What cpus are in your system?

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

more like all the way up to a 2080 ti. 2% performance is below noticeable, we're talking about 1 frame or so here :D

the pcie 2.0 16x should be fine for mid range cards for the next 3-4 years at least.

Well, then I guess that furthers my point!
