So,
I decided I wanted a motherboard GPU combo that supported PCIE 3.0 without having to force it, or potentially deal with some instability.
For giggles I replaced the Sand Bridge-E with an IVY Bridge-E CPU after installing the G1Assassin2 Modded 12w BIOS.
I ran some simple bench marks before and after the swap; PCMark 7, 3D Mark 11, and Bioshock Infinite's Benchmark Tool.
What's interesting is that while the Ivy Bridge renders graphics faster as a system as a whole, it's not truly fast than the Sandy Bridge CPU.
Ivy Bridge-E (i7-4930k):
