will gtx 970 give full performance with msi 970a-g43! i'm confused because gtx 970 is pci-e 3.0 and the motherboard is pci-e 2.0 (not sure) ! and my processor is AMD FX 8320 at stock speed and my PSU is Thermaltake smart se 530W! and i will also buy Thermaltake Non-Interference NIC L31CPU Cooler for the cpu so overall the PSU is ok or not?
please help me by answering my questions!
Thanks in advance!

About the Mainboard, the MSI 970a-G43 has PCI Express 2.0 but as you can also read in many post you will not have any impact in the performance.
The CPU is ok and will not create a bottleneck.
Finally the PSU is at limit as WMinimum System Power Requirement for the GTX 970 is 500W.
