Im deciding between an fm2 and an fm2+ processor for my build but fm2 only supports pcie 2.0. Will this affect my performance? It only has half the bandwith but it seems from benchmarks that the difference is nominal. I'll be getting an r9 270 gpu and my mobo supports pcie 3

it's fine, only the high end cards are affected by the speed difference from 2.0 to pci ex 3.0

edit: and even for those it's a small speed difference

Nope.
What speed differences that can be observed between v2 and v3 are only in highly synthetic benchmarks, in real usage there is no difference.
