I have a motherboard that's 7 years old, and I want to upgrade the graphics card to something with a little more power.
Used CPU-Z to find information, not sure what's relevant so I'll just post everything I see.
Manu: EVGA
Model: 131-GT-E767 Tylersburg
Chipset: Intel x58 Rev.: 22
Southbridge: Intel 82801JR (ICH10R) Rev.: 00
LPCIO: Fintek F71882F
I am not sure what any of these besides the manu and model numbers mean. So that is everything under the Motherboard panel. I was on the UserBenchmark website and ran their test, it had the GTX 1080 under alternative GPU's; here is the link for that:

Because it was under the list of alternative GPU's I am guessing it is compatible, but I didn't want to just assume that and would love consultation from someone who is actually good with components in computers.
Thanks!

This is the graphics card specifically I'd like to use. It uses a PCIE x 16 and my motherboard does have those.
