Hi and welcome.

Yes your motherboard will support PCIE3.0 as long as your processor and the card do too. All three must support the standard for it to work. You can check it here :  http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3978&dl=1#ov

You say that your motherboard supports the 3770K but do make sure that you have a BIOS that also supports the CPU.

thanks for your reply. so, if i make the bios update, place 3770K  and insert PCI-E3 display card, my board still can run in PCIE3.0 even it say "PCI-E 2.0" next my primary PCIE slot?
