Hi, I am looking to get just a new Motherboard/cpu/and GPU, as my motherboard and cpu I have now were about $70 each. However, I see the Motherboard has PCI Express 2.0 Ports, and is Crossfire ready Believe. I currently have a gtx 460 768mb by MSI, and it is PCI Express 2.0, however the motherboard in that combo I linked says PCI Express 3.0!! I see nothing about 3.0 on the MOBO, so what exactly is PCI Express 3.0, and will that combo that I linked even work?? Also could you link me to a process that would work around $150 or less? Thanks in advance, and hope you can help!

PS. IS that motherboard also crossfire ready incase I want ot buy a second 7850 down the road? thanks in advance! Also these are my current drives, will they work? Physical: Drive
Drive #1 - ST3500418AS ATA Device (465 GB)

and Optical: Device Description
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24LS50 ATA Device
 
AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz (4.4GHz Turbo) Socket FM2

You can use the PCIe 3.0 card in that system. You can also use two HD 7850's in CrossFireX mode. The motherboard has seven SATA 6Gb/s connectors. Your older Seagate ST3500418AS Barracuda is a SATA 3Gb/s drive, but it will work in those newer SATA 6Gb/sec ports. The DVD drive is also compatible. You will also need to to do a new installation of Windows.
