Another Weight Question

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and cycling too. A week ago I picked up an 07 Cannondale System Six that was a back-up bike for a road racer guy. The shop I purchased it at said the bike had a carbon front triangle, and an aluminum rear triangle. I currently weight in at 345lbs, but that is slowing going down due to running and now cycling. My question is will this frame be able to support my weight? I know the wheels are a major issue I am going to have to deal with. The current wheels are only 20/24 spoke wheels. I was planing on riding these wheels till I destroy them, and then pick up some wheels with a higher spoke count. So whats your guys opinion, will I destroy this frame with my weight or should it hold up?

Heres a picture of the bike.
