I need help with my motherboard

[Edool14]

So my motherboard the FM2A68M-HD+ I am having trouble to figure out what slot my graphics card goes into but I CANNOT use the pcie 3.0 x16 as I do not have an FM2+ CPU (I have FM2, A4 7300) can any other slots take my ASUS GTX 750ti OC?

Here's the specs: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A68M-HD+/?cat=Specifications

And the board layout: https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813157587

Hi,

I dont get it why you cant install the GPU in the PCIe 3.0?

Here is your build + the GPU and no issues:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD A4-7300 3.8GHz Dual-Core Processor ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A68M-HD+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($49.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Total: $89.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Only slot you can install the GPU is the pcie 3.0 x16

Add the gtx750ti into the pciex16 slot, which is closed to the cpu socket, and also it is the only one you can use for your gtx750ti.
Because your cpu does not support pcie3.0x16, and don't mean you can't use that pciex16 slot, because pcie3.0 is backward compatible to pcie2.0x16, even pcie 1.0x16.

yes but if you look on the ASROCK site for my motherboard it says "PCIE 3.0 is only supported with FM2+ CPU. With FM2 CPU, it only supports PCIE 2.0." so ca a have a graphics card in the 2.0 slot (please look at the 2.0 slot and tell me which one it is)

But it doesnt matter if it`s not supported by your CPU.. .You can still use the PCI-e 3 slot which is backwards compatible it will run as PCI-e 2.0.. =/
