Basically I am looking to buy a graphics card that will go best with my above configured PC
My Motherboard (M61PME-S2P) has a PCIE x16 (1.0) slot
WIll the PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 3.0 cards be compatible on mymotheboard?
I have been doing quite a bit of research for some time now, I just want to know which Graphics card will go best with it.
Here are the 2 gfx cards i have narrowed down to:
Please feel free to suggest more
(PCIE 2.0)

(PCIE 3.0)

Basically I want to run Games like DOTA 2, AOE HD and farcry.
I compared the above 2 gfx cards on games-debate

but as you can see, the recommended RAM for ATI radeon r7 240 is 8 GB, and that for Zotac gefore gt 630 is 4 GB(which I currently have, and I dont plan to upgrade it to 8GB). So will the Radeon r7 240 have issues on the motherboard?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Also enlighten me about the Processor I have, how good is it? and am I "overkilling " it by installing gfx card?
