Great. Thanks.
I had no idea, as I never studied PCI Express.
Had to go searching to make sure you're right;
this page is quite clear:

To be more precise and pedantic I'd say
"no need to buy an old PCI card" and
"put a PCIe-x16 card in a PCIe-x8 slot".
There's an x8 slot next to each of the two x16 slots, all black.
The two plain-PCI slots are white, at the bottom.
