Please tell us a budget.

That is pci 3.0 I need 2.0
And I would like to spend less than $200

Don't worry I was joking.

I don't think any newer cards run on PCI-e 2.0. You should get a new motherboard.

PCIe 3.0 are backward compatible so will work with a PCIe 2.0 board.

For a card recommendation what is your budget and which other components do you have.

I have a amd 4130 quad core 3.8ghz
I would like to run arma 2/3 bf3 with at least 30 fps

There is never a perfect graphics card for a certain motherboard. Typically a choice is made on whatever the best card is that you can afford.

If you have no budget then I like the GTX660. It's a mid end reasonably priced card that handles games pretty well. It might not max the most demanding games but it'll do. Bear in mind this card will require a decent power supply.

I swear it's that PCIe 3.0 boards are backwards compatible and will work with PCIe 2.0 cards, not the other way round. Like SATA I mean.

Using a PCIe 3.0 7870LE with a ASUS M5A99X right now. It would be silly if that was the case as AMD has yet to implement PCIe 3.0 in their processors.

AMD... No PCIe 3.0?!? Never read the small print.

Well the more you know...
