Yes you can use it in one of the x16 slots, it will not affect the performance of anything really.

Use the Last PCIE x8 slot, that way it only takes away from the second PCIE x16 slot, it will make the second PCIE slot function at x8 (Possibly x15 not sure how that would work, as they do share bandwidth the X8 and second X16 slot)
