Hi. Will a ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card fit in my asrock micro fm2 motherboard. Does the PCI express 3.0 x 16 matter?

The PCIe 3.0 does matter and it well definitely make your card run a little bit slower. I learned the hard way :(

No. It will not make a big difference to have a different version of PCI, as long as it is 2.0 or better.

Have a look here:

There is not a huge difference between PCIe 2.0 and 3.0, PCIe 2.0 still has more than enough bandwidth for all current GPU.

Very little difference between PCIE 2.0 and 3.0 don't worry about that.

I have had issues with it. There is like a 10-15 framerate diff.

I have a PCI 3. But I didn't know if PCI 3x16 was different. I was just wondering if it will fit in my motherboard and play games good. Would the Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB GDDR5 DVI-I/HDMI/2x Mini-Displayport PCI-Express 3.0 Graphic Card GV-R787OC-2GD
by Gigabyte be better
