Yep all pcie slots are compatible - just keep in mind you might have extra space at the end, but dont' worry that's supposed to happend.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
