Question I have a MB with PCIe x8 (x8 routing) half-length & PCIe x16 (x8 routing) full-length so is this 2.0 or 3.0

I have a Dell PowerEdge T310 the MB with 1- PCIe x8 (x8 routing) half-length & PCIe x16 (x8 routing) full-length so is this PCIe 2.0 or 3.0
Just trying to figure out which GPU convention I should be looking for I see some labeled as PCIe 2.0 x8 and some x16
Some labeled 3.0 x8 and 16 one even says it requires PCI Express, PCI 2.0 or PCI Express 3.0 compliant motherboard with one graphics slot.
So what's the difference, and which would I get the best use of the GPU I get.

5 PCIe G2 slots:
look like gen 2

best gpu for? budget?
full system spec? what psu is in it

Best bang for buck, single display no gaming but would like GDDR5 2GB with good clock speed Cuda cores and Direct x11 or 12
MB:is Xeon 3430 16Gb ecc reg RAM
PCI Express Generation 2
Expansion slots Slot1: PCIe x8 (x8 routing) half-length
Slot2: PCIe x16 (x8 routing) full-length
Slot3: PCIe x8 (x4 routing) half-length
Slot4: PCIe x1 (x1 routing) half-length
Slot5: PCIe x1 (x1 routing) half-length

375 or 400w power supply not sure.
Sub $150.00

It's got an nVidia GT610 1Gb now it's just old and video is a little wavy, good resolution just think it's got some cap's ready to pop.
And I can add power supply if needed.

For video editing, DaVincci Resolve is fantastic and free. Double fantastic!

How about an RX560 4GB for $100?
