It would work but youd get nearly half the performance

On paper, yes, but in reality the performance loss would be less severe.
You're more likely to be bottlenecked by your CPU and RAM, because if you have PCIe 1.0, your motherboard must be rather old, and probably only has DDR RAM and at most a Core 2 Duo.

Yeah just drop a GTX 750 in there, don't buy a GTX 650, it's outdated. You'll probably make Low-Medium settings on most games, but you'll want 8GB of RAM for Medium-High settings. But honestly the money would be better spent towards a completely new computer.
