1. your mobo can support faster ram.

2.your vid. card is pcie 2.0, and in a regular pcie slot, the speed is the same as a regular pcie card. you can get a regular pcie card with the same specs for cheaper.

NO! Do NOT get that GFX. And that RAM is useless. Over DDR2-800? Useless. 8800GTS G92 from MSI!

Get the MSI 8800GTS G92. Remember, anything over DDR2-800/PC2-6400 is useless.
