I have an Intel DH55TC motherboard. And the Pci express is 2.0. I just bought a Radeon  HD 6870 and it has a 2.1 PCI express.
My question: Is it okay to have this setup? Or will my motherboard burnout?

I wanted that case bad when I was building.. looking back at it, I probably should have bought it.. all my wires are not very neat looking 

 #!@*! is a mess

 that case is boss, easy access to add parts and the amount of room is amazing. the ease of hiding cables

i look at my current case in disgust

It's expensive, but damb.. hiding the cables for a neat look is

on top of the better airflow you would get by hiding your wires.. I need to get find a way to get rid of my 300 and buy that white 600t

yea its ok

Ive heard that it wont be good because the card wont be used to its full potential... What is your opinion on this setup? Or anyone's opinion

[h3]PCI Express 2.0[/h3]
PCI-SIG announced the availability of the PCI Express Base 2.0 specification on 15 January 2007.[sup][11][/sup] The PCIe 2.0 standard doubles the per-lane throughput from the PCIe 1.0 standard's 250 MB/s to 500 MB/s. This means a 32-lane PCI connector (x32) can support throughput up to 16 GB/s aggregate. The PCIe 2.0 standard uses a base clock speed of 5 GHz, while the first version operates at 2.5 GHz.

PCIe 2.0 motherboard slots are fully backward compatible with PCIe v1.x cards. PCIe 2.0 cards are also generally backward compatible with PCIe 1.x motherboards, using the available bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1. Overall, graphic cards or motherboards designed for v2.0 will be able to work with the other being v1.1 or v1.0.

The PCI-SIG also said that PCIe 2.0 features improvements to the point-to-point data transfer protocol and its software architecture.[sup][12][/sup]

Intel's first PCIe 2.0 capable chipset was the X38 and boards began to ship from various vendors (Abit, Asus, Gigabyte) as of October 21, 2007.[sup][13][/sup] AMD started supporting PCIe 2.0 with its AMD 700 chipset series and nVidia started with the MCP72.[sup][14][/sup] All of Intel's prior chipsets, including the Intel P35 chipset, supported PCIe 1.1 or 1.0a.[sup][15][/sup]
[h3]PCI Express 2.1[/h3]
PCI Express 2.1 supports a large proportion of the management, support, and troubleshooting systems planned to be fully implemented in PCI Express 3.0. However, the speed is the same as PCI Express 2.0. Most motherboards sold currently come with PCI Express 2.1 connectors

it wont be used to its full potential if you dont put the card in the 16x lane

Finished my build earlier today.  Sorry for the crappy phone pics.  I need to get an all-in-one card reader.  Everything works. No problems.  Wire management wasn't bad although it could be better.  Time to start gaming!

The gpu is in there. It's only a 6570 though.  I'll upgrade next pay period.

Edit: I'm signing up for Steam now.
