Oh okay and thank you for getting back to me. I am very much appreciated. Also what is the speed difference between 1 2 and 3 PCIe , if you don't mind me asking.

PCIE gen v1.x:

- 250 MB/s (×1)
- 4 GB/s (×16)
PCIE gen v2.x:
- 500 MB/s (×1)
- 8 GB/s (×16)
PCIE gen v3.x:
- 985 MB/s (×1)
- 15.75 GB/s (×16)
PCIE gen v4.0:
- 1969 MB/s (×1)
- 31.51 GB/s (×16)

These are the numbers for PCIE gen 1, 2, 3 and 4. First number is 1x and the second number is 16x. When your motheerboard has 16x and you have one GPU in it, you will get those speeds. When you for example have SLI GPU's, you will have 8x speeds.

I am going to a GTX 950 but I have an Q6600 with a overclock 3GHz but will the gpu be bottlenecked and if I should upgrade the CPU which one should I get. Thanks

what will you be doing??

Neither one will bottleneck each other (of course there will be exceptions with super CPU intensive games or whatever, but generally it wont bottleneck)

But don't the old motherboard have old PCIe slots

yes they do, but really does not matter since even PCIE gen 2 slots will have plenty of speed for current GPU's

Sorry but been looking at the motherboard and I think it's first gen. Dam would that then not do as good. Motherboard is here =  asus p5b

If it's PCIE gen 1 16x (which it seems like it is that) you might see a very small performance decrease, but the difference wont be big. like at all

Oh okay and thank you for getting back to me. I am very much appreciated. Also what is the speed difference between 1 2 and 3 PCIe , if you don't mind me asking.
