As long as the motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot i.e the interface to slot the card into, which is the current universal standard, it will work. The motherboard you linked does, if you look in the specifications tab & look under "expansion & connectivity" the slots state it has one.

PCI-E 3.0 & is backwards compatible with PCi-E 2.0 so don't worry. And there is little to no performance penalty, read the link.

The size of the card is an entirely different matter to the interface. i.e you may want a smaller card to fit in your specific PC case if it's restricted by size (length or height).

I'll assume you don't want to use the newer Haswell CPU's & LGA 1150 motherboards for some reason or other (?)

I already made other plans ( on getting a motherboard with a PCi-E 3.0 ) but if you say that i can connect a GPU with 3.0 to a 2.0 without performance penalty i may have to reconsider.
iam getting a socket LGA 1150 i5 CPU with hd4000 graphics which needs a compatible card to use those hd. so before i was going with a CPU that needed a P67 or H67 to work. so i end up with this ASrock MOBO.
i changed the cpu to one that needs a Z87 one and going with an MSI MOBO and adding a GeForce GTX760 or i will maybe spent some more on GPU like GTX770 which i read are on the high end of graphics.
