Ok so I am aiming to build a new Gaming PC mainly for playing games like Dota 2..
Now my problem is that the MOBO I am getting doesnt have a PCIe 2.0 slot - and the GPU is a PCIe 2.0. Here is my current build order:
MOBO: ASRock extreme3 gen3:: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271
CPU: i5-2500K :: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXHQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
GPU: EVGA GTX 570 :: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EHZD5W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
PSU: Any affordable ~750 Watt PSU.
CASE: CM Scout
HDD: Any affordable 1TB HDD
Thats pretty much it.. But my problem is that the MOBO doesnt come with PCIe 2.0 slot only PCIe 3.0 and others.. So if i go with this build will my PC work fine?? also I read in some forums that i5-2500k doesnt support PCIe 3.0.. Is that true??? Please guide me if possible.. Thanks.
Also the ASRock pro3 gen3 is a consideration too since its around 20 bucks cheaper but it only has 1 slot for PCIe 3.0..

So what do you guys think about this build?? I am also open to recommendations so feel free to suggest or criticize.
Thanks Alot
