It is the speed of the GPU, means how much MHz ur GPU can work. With PCIe 3.0 ur GPU will work fastest. But with 2.0 ur GPU.will work good but not fast as 3.0
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
 


PCi-E 3.0 slot backward is compatible with 2.0 and 1.1/1.0 VGAs also.

On topic : if you don't have the desire to OC and only need to run your CPU at stock clock then the cheapest B75 motherboard that is NOT from Asrock or Asus should do the job well. But since you've taken the 3570k, which means you want to OC your CPU, get at least a Z75 motherboard or, if you can't find any Z75 motherboard there, a Z77 motherboard with heatsink around CPU area.
