Solution
Depending on power supply it is compatible but I'm not sure you will get anywhere near it's full potential on such an old i7. What resolution and Hz are you gaming at?

Youll be fine with the hardware you currently have. Im running a GTX 1080 on an old X58 Gen 1 i7 board and I get frame rates that rival my old 980 SLI setup in the same system. Using a Corsair 750 TX power supply was sufficient for 2 980's in SLI, and the 1080 is pulling far less power than those cards where. Will help if you can overclock the CPU to 4Ghz or higher.

Thank you! I will wait after the summer period when the price for the 1080 reduceda bit further...I might then come back to you for assistance in that matter (overclocking). Regards
