It will be able to handle new mobos but will be a bottleneck for current gfx

I think ur processor is Pentium D 805. Its 90nm bro

"The Intel Pentium D Processor 805 runs at 2.66GHz with a 533MHz FSB and shares two seperate 1MB L2 caches that are located on the procesor ie has 2MB L2 cache . The 805 is a Smithfield dual-core processor and does fully support 64-bit computing via the Intel EM64T technology."

You'll need to change ur cpu if you want to game

Processor can handle new Mobo's but new GFX will be bottlenecked by his processor

Mostly the FIFA series . Also FM which you guys wont be knowing much about . FOr these games i was told that having a high end processor is not necessary .

Guys dont worry about PSU as i will buy it along with GFX.

A good mobo and GFX !
