1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16

You have that slot, which is definitely compatible with your GPU to it's fullest potential, go for it!

That will definitely work

PCIe is generally backwards compatible anyway, as far back as 1.2 for the 7XXX series. No worries there

Enjoy the card!

PCI-E X16 2.0/3.0 are exactly the same, no performance difference, just 3.0 has added BIOS features, which is nothing.

Actually, the bandwidth is higher. PCI-e 2.0 is 500mb/s per lane, and pci-e 3.0 is 985mb/s per lane. Makes no difference for graphics cards currently though.

Ok thanks guys

RobCrezz :

yes, but for today and graphics cards to come, there will be no performance difference at all (You listed but even for next gen cards, won't make a difference.)
