M back after a long time BTW

I use Intel DG35EC Motherboard with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 1 Gb DDR2 RAM

It has 1 PCIe x16 slot

Can anyone tell me which good graphics card is best suited for it

Looking into nVidia / Ati

No budget limit can spend anywhere around from 5000 to 10000 INR

I like play games too often

Is PCIe x16 and PCIe 2 or PCIe 3 the same

I mean will any card of PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 will work in PCIe x16 will optimum performance

Someone please help me i really need help before i buy .. Need optimum extreme perfomance

if u having a good PSU (like Corsair CX400W, Gigabyte 460W, FSP 400W, Seasonic 380W), go for Radeon HD5770 based card.

also about the latter query, PCIe X 16 & PCIe 2.0 X 16 almost same. but 2.0 got more bandwidth. so cards that can utilize the extra bandwidth will use. but no bottlenecking stuff here.
