You don't need a motherboard that will support pcie 3.0 as it is backwards compatible with pcie 2.0. So if you have an AMD board with pcie 2.0 on it, then a GTX 980 will still work fine.

The difference between pcie 2.0 and pcie 3.0 is very very small. If you are running a single graphics card then it won't be noticeable.

 

Have a look at this link: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/07/18/pci_express_20_vs_30_gpu_gaming_performance_review/1#.VC7Nq_ldUnI

 

Do you already have a pcie 2.0 motherboard ?
