Nope, you're good.

What doesn't make sense is the GPU says "PCI-Express 3.0" I have never seen this on a motherboard.

 

[FinneousPJ]

It's backwards compatible.

 

[thehiddenlotus]

Will not perform as well as it would on a motherboard with PCI-Express 3.0?

 

[FinneousPJ]

It'll be just the same, my friend.

Well... to be brutally honest, your card will perform around half a percent worse compared to a board with PCI-E 3.
