I have a Biostar H61MGV3 motherboard: (link) with an intel Core i3 3120 processor.
I want to buy an ASUS 710-2-SL graphics card (link) for enhancing the graphics experience.
Description of the product: ASUS Nvidia GeForce GT 710 2GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express Graphic Card / PCI-E 2.0 / 2GB / DDR3 / 64 Bit / D-SUB/DVI-D/HDMI / HDCP support/ Low Profile / 192 Cuda Core / Direct X 12 / Silent passive cooling/ AUTO-EXTREME Technology
Are these two compatible? In Asus's website they have mentioned that the bus interface as PCI Express 2.0.
In Biostar website, they have mentioned that it has a 1 x PCI-E x16 3.0 Slot(supported by Core i5 -3xxx / Core i7 3xxx CPU). Does this mean that this slot is useless if I have an i3 processor?
