I dont see Pci x16 on there so does that mean it cant?

It has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, so yes you can fit a GTX 260 on it. It's the fist listing under the Expansion Slots heading on that page.

Make sure you look at your case measurements to see if the card will fit.

but somebody in the reviews said it didnt

Cons: IT'S NOT A PCI X16 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other Thoughts: Newegg should remove fail info about this board! Now I have to return this board back to newegg...!
