What sort of performance hit am I looking at?

 

[Janooo]

50% of pci-e 2.0
16x pci-e 1.0 = 8x pci-e 2.0

What sort of performance hit am I looking at?

Depending on the card and game, anywhere from 1-7%.

Buy any pci-e card you want. The only cards that suffer any changed performance at all is those that are upwards of $300+, and even then it's not big. 10% worst case scenario
