    Yes you have a x16 pcie slot and in order to check what version of pcie it is you can download HWiNFO and see the version pcie your GPU is connected to. There won't be any bottleneck if you connect the GPU to pcie 3.0 x16, pcie 3.0 x8 and pcie 2.0 x16.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
