I have problem!!!

I have found that my motherboard

Asus Pk5pl Am In Roem Si has pci x16 1.0 version, i wanted to buy HD 6670 or 7730 but I am afraid if they will make issues on 1.0 slot
I know they SHOULD BE backward compatible but one guy who works as computer tehnician told me that 3.0 gfxs knows to make issues on 1.0 slot.

I am really afraid to upgraid to anything now

AM i stuck with bloody Integrated piece of s***?
