Will this motherboard be compatible with new graphics cards.

Will my old motherboard (ASUS P5B) be compatible with a new graphics card PCIE 3.0. Thanks - Awesome_2

Yeah, PCIe is backwards compatible like that - a PCIe 3.0 x16 card will run at PCIe 2.0 x16; the bandwidth is the same (roughly) as PCIe 3.0 x8.

The bigger trouble is that the P5B is an LGA775 board and there aren't a lot of LGA775 CPUs capable of running a modern card anywhere near to their potential. You are rather likely to be bottlenecked unless you're going for a relatively low end GPU.

I am using a Intel Core Two Duo E4600

DOn't get anything above a GTX 750ti it's not worth it on that CPU. that being said, ou will not be having a nice time with that CPU regardless, unless you only play CS:GO.
