I am upgrading my old, though high-end computer at the time (2012), with a new SSD, windows 10 and a Geforce GTX 1080. According to the bottleneck charts and some extrapolation my CPU (I7 3770K) should rarely bottleneck the GTX 1080, so i believe it is optimal.

But, will the new graphics card be compatible with my old system and especially my old motherborad?
