I am planning to buy a new grpahic card.Since the PCIe is not written on my motherboard I'm thinking that my PCIe is just 2.0.Will a graphics card like GTX 750 ti which bus support is 3.0 will work on my PC with PCIe 2.0 slot?

It will work with no performance difference here are some benchmarks comparing 2.0 X16 2.0 X8 3.0 X16 and 3.0X8.
With a NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan.
