Im afraid that it wont work because of something i dont know, i know that the pcie 2.0 slots are compatible with a pcie 3.0 graphics card, but please respond soon! thank you!

specs

Intel xenon quad core 2.66
16 gb (4x4gb) X ripjaws 1333 mghz for the memory.
2 fans built into the computer
525 watt psu
 
Solution
Yes, it will work just fine, with a proper PSU.

There is NO difference in performance between 2.0 and 3.0. Even the most powerful cards out today can't use the bandwidth available on 3.0
