Hey,
I've been wanting to build a new computer within the up coming weeks (its been 5 years since my last build lol) and I've run into a lot of confusion about the PCIe 3.0.
Does the cpu have to have PCIe 3 support for the motherboard and GPU to use PCIe 3?
Main reason why I ask is I'm thinking of getting a AsRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 with a 2600k and AMD 7950 (when it releases).
thanks
