The motherboard you are referring to has a x1 PCI slot on the upper left corner in link below and a PCIe graphics slot near the ATX connector.

The slot appears to be x16 PCIe but there is no specific mention of "x16" because it is actually just a x8 PCIe.

BUT don't worry. That x8 PCIe would only bottleneck/slowdown the high end cards but not the budget and mainstream cards.

To clear your doubts. Yes, the PCIE1 is the same as PCI-Express. PCIE1 is a specification for the standards. So anything that says PCIE1 is the current PCI-Express technology and not the older one which is referred to as PCI-X.

PCI-Express x16 is for graphics/video cards and the PCI-Express x1 is for newer type hardware accessories such as network card ,sound card, and such.
