No, you won't need a new CPU for that card, but however, the 1156 chips don't have PCI-3 support, so you won't be getting the fullest pack out of your card.

pcie 3.0 makes virtually no difference with non crossfire/sli configurations.

I highly doubt it'd be the bottleneck,especially since it's OC'd.

Yes PCI 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI 2.0

If it doesn't return it saying it doesn't work.

just as a note, don't forget to look at your PSU wattage if you have enough. It should be the case, but just make sure. ;) Good luck with the upgrade!

You should really tell us what PSU do you have before buying 670 because if its low quality brand it might not be able to handle the 670.
