i dont really want to spend more than 100$ on one (would like it to be at most around 75$)
Main things i want from it is
AM3+ socket for FX processors

No it's pcie 2.0 but in comparison, there's only 2-3% difference in performance, Irrelevant really unless you are hardcore overclocking, which i suspect not with those components. They are backward compatible
The motherboards for your CPU chipset do not support pcie 3.0 is the issue in this case

Check this thread; http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1852845/pcie-g...

Love the PCS+ range by the way, those cards are binned alot!
