Of course, if it's already "bricked" then how much harm can be done huh? Lot's of good info on this here. We'll need to know what PSU you have before recommending a video card upgrade. Click to expand... Yeah I remember flashing an old AGP slot Radeon 9800 pro to an XT, since they used the same chipset but were priced differently, it really increased performance for free. My PSU is a Corsair TX750

So I just want something as good or better than the 7850 that still work with pcie v2 without being overpriced, since this 5770 is significantly slower.

It seems they can work even on pci-e x16 1.0. To be on the safe side, I found this build (half 2018). That guy installed an EVGA "04G-P4-6253-RX" (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, ACX 2.0 Single Fan) on your same motherboard model. Its description and specifications says: This card is designed for the PCI Express 3.0 bus architecture, offering the highest data transfer speeds for the most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications. It also maintains backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support. Click to expand... Therefore, you could be 99.9% sure GDDR5 and pci-e 3.0 graphics cards should work. I reserved for me 0.1% of error. ;-) These should be the differences between each version, but don't take it for granted (I did a quick research): PCIe 1.1 = 2.5GT/s PCIe 2.0 = 5GT/s PCIe 3.0 = 8GT/s PCIe 4.0 = 16GT/s PCIe 5.0 = 32GT/s Click to expand...
