Yes it will work, even some ancient GPU using PCIe 1.1 or some future PCIe 5.0 or 6.0 GPU would work 🙂

PCIe is forwards and backwards compatible across generations. Provided you've got ample power from your PSU to power the card (which you do) then it's fine.

The 1080 will work no problem as long as you have a strong enough PSU (Which I am sure you already do). Aside from that, nothing to worry about that.
