Ok, so I have bought a EVGA 3GB 780 and threw it on this.The card was a half-centimeter too long (5mm! ugh!), and since I was too lazy (or stingy) to go buy a decent case,  this was what I came up with:

 

This is before I took it out of my pre-built:

By the way, the fan on the USB ports is masking-taped on... :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the PC is on when I took these, it's just a decent camera.

Is...is there any bottlenecking?

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Without a 16x PCi slot and a capa

Without a mobo with 16x PCi slot and a good CPU, you basically wasted money on that 780 VGA, man. :/

You should have gone with an entry level z87 mobo, a medium level CPU and a 660 or maybe 670 and get similar performance.

Correct if I'm wrong, but the point is still there.

Most aftermarket boards are brown or black so I'm just assuming I've never seen a green one and the lack of heatsinks

current build and total cost   http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/150083-thrift-shop-build/

 

I apologize for my crappy English I'm American

It's a Dell Inspiron 620

 

To clear up some confusion, I'm purchasing a case, mobo, and cpu Saturday.

 

I'm currently playing watch dogs on high @ around 55 fps, so... yeah.

Well, apparently he wanted to play Watch Dogs as fast as possible. But he did say he's gonna upgrade soon.
