What PCI does my MB have?

I have 760GA-P43 (FX) and I'm confused about all PCI stuff. I want to know if my MB can handle MSI Geforce GTX 960 4gb (which requires PCI 3)

It has a PCIE 2.0 16x slot, however the PCIE 3.0 cards will work in the 2.0 slot, no problem.

I heard that I wouldn't be able to use it to the fullest if I had 2.0, is it true? Should I consider buying a new one?

While PCIE 2.0 has half the bandwidth of 3.0, a 16x slot still provides enough bandwidth where the impact will be minimal, especially on a 960.

Thanks a lot!
