On my motherboard post when i start my system it says "pcie gen 2".
i have set gen 3 in the bios to enabled and i'm using a 670, so am i getting full pcie gen 3?

any help would be appreciated

Check with GPU-Z to see if it's running in 3.0. You may need to click the "?" in GPU-Z to make the GPU run in full speed, as power saving features usually lower the PCI-E speed during idle.
