I won't be diving in to detail. Basically graphic cards use x16 PCI sockets as this socket has more bandwidth allocated to them. 2.0 and 3.0 is the version of PCI standard and newer standard offers more performance. However this is backward compatible and most cards wil do fine with 2.0 x16 lane.

If I were you before purchasing this graphic card I would check:
1. PSU: Do you have enough power to feed it
2. CPU: Does it have enough power to feed the card.

and of cource how much ram do you have. I do not recommend connecting a 6GB card to a system with 8GB's of ram
