Right underneath the PCI-E slots, it says PCI-E 16x, and I though the 780i has PCI-E 2.0.. My video card is blocking the bottom PCI-E slot, so is that bottom one the only 2.0, or is it a misprint?

16x isn't just the bandwidth or speed, it's the amount of PCIe lanes. You have 16 PCIe lanes in that slot, it's one of your widest slots. However you have PCIe 2.0 lanes instead of PCIe 1.0.
