i have a 9600GT installed running at PCI-E 1.1 when the GPU and Motherboard support 2.0 why is this?

Because the 9600gt was made when PCIE 1.1 was the only thing around.

Download GPUz and run the stress test, your PCIe slot is running in idle mode which is why it's @1.1.

Next to the box showing the current PCIe speed is a "?", click it to run the test.

I can't find the specs for your motherboard that confirm it has a 2.0 PCIe slot.
