New to PCI-Express

What do you mean normal PCI-E port?

A x16 card will only work in a x16 mechanical slot (it need not be x16 electrically) or any slot with an open end in the PCI-E socket (I've never seen one in a commercial product)

Top end cards will work fine in x8 and above, though at x4 will lose noticeable performance.

The card won't physically fit in the slot, though if you feel brave you could cut a slot in the back of the socket to get it in there and it should actually work :p.
