Help please. I've a Extreme 3 Z87 board. And i'm plugging in my GTX 770 Gigabyte .

However, on my board, the top PCI slot says PCI 2.0???? I saw most people plugging in their GPU onto the top slot closest to the mother board, but isn't the GTX 770 a PCI 3.0???

Help, which one do i plug my into.

yea that's my motherboard.

but the third big one from the top clearly says PCI express and 3.0

But the first big one says it's PCI 2.0. So i just plug it into the express one? Weird board, i thought on most boards, the 3.0 is the first big one

Odd. The website states "2 x PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1" but you only have one. Anyway, use the 3.0 .

Wait. Which board is yours?
This:http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87%20Extreme3/
or
This:http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87%20Extreme4/

Because it sounds like you have the Extreme4, from the way you described the next PCIe 3.0 down.
