I just recently bought a sapphire r9 280x toxic and was wondering if a pcie 2.0 slot would affect its performance.. because i am planning to buy a new cpu and board.. i might decide to pick intel if it really does affect the performance of the r9 280x on a pcie 2.0.. atm i have enough budget to buy the amd fx8350 with the asrock fatal1ty 990fx killer.. any help would be nice :D..

Pcie 2.0 8x will suffice all current gpu's on the market right now.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

2.0 will only get bottle necked with multiple high end cards. With a single gpu you'll see no difference.
