Not quite. The second PCI-e will run at x4 so you will loose some FPS as compared with the more usual x8 x8.

PCIE2 slot runs @ x1 link by default, and USB3 uses one of the lanes to make x4 link, so you may also lose other functionality when using both PCIE slots.

Anything with x8/x8 PCIe and cooling on CPU VRM section should be fine.
