Recently I've been wanting to upgrade my system a little for more performance, and one of my buddies recommended getting the EVGA GeForce GT 740. While this seemed like a good idea, I did a little bit more research and discovered that that graphics card is for a PCI-e 3.0, and my motherboard can only support 2.0. After searching things up about this, it turned out that all the articles I read were from 2011 and I need a more updated look on the situation.

My question is this:

Could I use GT 740 and not experience any drop in frame rate or performance or anything, or would it just be a waste of money to buy this?
