Compatibilty replacing 8800GTX with 460GTX

[wookie]

Ive got enough spare cash to do a minor upgrade and thinking of changing the GFX from my 8800GTX to a 460GTX.

Question is can anyone see anything obvious thats not compatible with my current setup?

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
OCZ Gold Edition 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Series (OCZ2G8004GK) X 2
Asus P5K Pro Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Corsair HX 620W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-620HXUK)
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB 3.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

I believe the PCI-E v1 will be a bit of a bottle neck but im hoping the upgrade will still be worth it ?

Cheers
Steve

PS This is mainly a gaming rig.

For an extra 6 quid you can get the Cyclone with the sexy cooler

Might be worth a look if you'd like to OC. Otherwise might aswell keep the £6 and get a haircut or something.

U might want to get the 560 now it's in stock

There's a bit of a difference between £115 - £140 for a GTX 460, and a £200 - £230 GTX 560.

In response to the original post though, it should work fine. Although people have said some GTX 460s refuse to work in some motherboards so you might want to check for your latest BIOS and such before hand.
