Solution
it doesn't require pci ex 3.0 it works with any pci ex up to and including 3.0. so it will work on motherboards with pci ex 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. no problem whatsoever.

No, it's just that in your question you said you have 3 graphics cards in mind. At $200 the two you listed would be the best choices I feel.
