sorry bout that

 

[Groveling_Wyrm]

Yes, it can. However, it cannot run it at PCIE 3.0 standard. It will run at PCIE 2.0.

It is not so much about the board but your case and power supply. PCIE 2.0 will be fine

what does pcie 2.0 mean?

 

[Groveling_Wyrm]

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus. It is how the GPU talks to the Processor.

PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 3.0 are standard speeds to which they can run.

so would that lower my fps?

 

[Groveling_Wyrm]

Running PCIE 2.0 instead of PCIE 3.0 would only result in 2-3 fps lost in most games.
