So I read this article on PCI-e, and it states that unless every component on the board is PCI-e 3.0, it's going to run at the lowest PCI-e component's level. I imagine he means video cards or other on-board components, but I'm not sure. My wireless adapter is PCI. Fourth paragraph under the second line of red text. What do you guys think? Should I worry about my wireless adapter if everything else is PCI-e 3.0?

"So to put it bluntly once again: most of you will never reap any benefit from a Gen3 board. Unless you have a thoroughly PCIe 3.0 ready board, a PCIe 3.0 graphics card and an Ivy Bridge processor you will be using PCIe 2.x. If just one of these components does not support 3.0 this will be the case and there is no unlocking, hacking or any other way around this."
