Yes it does have a PCI Express 2.0 slot and yes you could use a GDDR5 card with it but make sure you have a PSU that can power one. Also be aware that if your CPU isn't very good it will bottleneck your GPU.

Can someone tell me if it could bottleneck on these specs:
Motherboard:ipmsb-h61
RAM:2 GB ddr3
Processor:intel core i3 2100

The i3 will run a gtx760 or r9 280x

You're going to need more RAM. You'd preferably want 4GB minimum. That CPU will be okay but I wouldn't buy anything better than a 750 Ti or a 270X or you will see bottlenecking,

Also, what PSU do you have?

I am gonna buy 4 GB and a PSU of 450 W btw should i buy a New motherboard instead??I am thinking to buy radeon 7770 HD or Nvidia 650Gt

Get a 260X, it's just a rebranded 7770 but with better clock speeds. Make sure you buy a good branded PSU, not a cheap one. You could buy a new motherboard if you really wanted but make sure you buy a 1155 socket motherboard otherwise your CPU won't support it. Your current board does only have PCI Express 2.0 and not 3.0 so your card will be limited there but not by a huge amount. I don't see much point in buying a new motherboard unless you're going to upgrade the CPU as well because it seems silly to buy an almost 3 generation old motherboard.
