What some people misunderstand is that you also need CPU power, along with GPU power, to run modern games at decent quality. Also, check your motherboard. Around the same time when Intel 3000 series chip was released, PCIe 3.0 was becoming the new standard. If your MB doesn't support PCIe 3.0, you're bottlenecking the video card at the motherboard level.
You're throwing in a ~$500 video card into a 5 year old computer. Short answer is yes, your computer will run. I would consider upgrading the computer also...

I have a Asus P8Z77 WS ... it looks like it has PCIe 3.0. So that's a bonus but I would like to run modern games on higher settings which is why i was wondering..
