Hey guys,
I'm going to be building a PC with a Sapphire 4GB 29 270X and an i5 CPU.
The problem is that my budget only allows me to buy motherboards with a PCI 2.0 lane, while the R9 270X utilises a 3.0 X16 lane. Will this in anyway affect my performance?
Having said that, which is the best motherboard out of these -
