(urgent)Will a PCI-e 3.0 card work on my gateway TBG01 motherboard?

Hi have a Gateway TBG01 motherboard says CPU-Z. I was wondering if a PCI-e 3.0 card(AMD Radeon 7870) will work on it? I didn't even realise it was important until i googled it but couldn't find a good answer. All i could find from CPU-Z was my motherboard was a pci express x16. I don't know much about this stuff so any help would be nice. Thanks.
BTW sorry if this is a dumb question :p  once again i dont know much at all on this stuff

It would, since it has PCIe. but what are your system specs?

It sounds to me like you'd be putting a fairly overpowered GPU into a very underpowered system.

It won't be 3.0. very few motherboards support it right now.

it may even be 1.0, but that still won't matter. it will work. 1.0 slots are only just starting to become bottlenecks for the most high end cards.
