Well from what I understand the card will only be running at x8 speed, which some people said won't be an issue. Also, the pcie x16 slots are not 2.0. How much of an impact will this have on the performance?

A GTX 250 should be fine in a x8 slot as long as it's x16 size.

It's not uncommon for people running Crossfire / SLI to have their cards in a pair of x8 slots.
