My PC: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03520537&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=5295962&prodTypeId=12454

the graphics card im looking to get is the 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162082), it says its PCI Express 2.0 x16 but my computer has 3.0x16 PCI Express slot, so will it be compatible with my computer? thanks in advance

Edit: thank you both guys

Yes, it's fully backwards compatible.

Yes PCI-Express 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. The PCI-Express slot will auto negotiate to 2.0 speeds. There will be no difference performance wise with that graphics card (either running at 2.0 or 3.0)
