Hi Tom's Hardware forum, I'd like to know this:

I have this motherboard Asus Intel® H81M-K A/L/V (1150) and i'm going to get a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960, so here's the thing. The graphics card specs says it uses 3.0 PCIe x16, and my motherboard only supports 2.0 so my question is.

Can I install this graphics card on this motherboard?

Also have to say that i'm very tight on budget so changing the motherboard wouldn't be viable so I only need to know that. Thanks in advance.
