Help me with a GPU

[chelevi]

I am thinking of buying a gt 1030

Hi to everyone..

specs
mobo: Dell Inc. 0GDG8Y
cpu: i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz
ram: 2x2gb ddr3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
psu: Dell 300w
monitor: Acer b193W (1440x900@75Hz)

Questions
1) These GPUs are PCIe x16 3.0, my mobo is PCIe x16 2.0. I read some forums that I would not have any problem, but I want to confirm and be sure. Am I gonna have any problem?

2) Am I gonna have any bottleneck with my cpu?

3) I have cable VGA to VGA,
If I buy a DVI-D to HDMI it should work, right? Or should I buy DVI-D to DVI-D? And should it be Active or Passive?
(The gpu does not have vga, my monitor has both VGA and DVI-D) (Read that the adaptors are not much effective as cables are, and that's logical)

I don't want to spend much money on a gpu, i've made my research on those GPUs and they're not bad. I want to play games mostly Rocket League, Minecraft, Civ V and at low-end graphics new games that does not require a beast PC.

Thanks in advance!

1 correct, no problem
2 no bottlenecks
3 either way works, I would just get a dvi-d cable, they're not that expensive.

good luck:")

It's only that the MSI has HDMI and Display port.
The EVGA seems nice as well, but it's quite expensive than the others, and the ports are 2 DVI-D.
But I'll check it out again. Thanks!
