Yes PCIe 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 no problem and there is next to no difference in performance. All new cards are 3.0 and will work in 2.0 slots.

The big issue with adding a video card, is your power supply and if it can handle the extra power a video card needs.

Yes, you have a PCIe 16x time slot, it's fine. What is power supply and what video card are you thinking of, that's the big issue.
