Doesn't Matter to what you are planning on buying. The graphics card is PCIe 3.0 and the Motherboard has 1 PCIe 3.0 and the other one is PCIe 2.0 for Rev 2.0 of the Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H.
The graphics card having PCIe 3.0 are also compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots as well but limit the capabilities of the card.

IT WILL FIT on the slot on your motherboard.

P.S. I have also played Battlefield 4 at ultra setting at a very good FPS nothing below 60.
