Well, i am thinking of getting an 8800GT, but, i heard that it is PCI-e 2.0.

My question is this, Does the Asus P5KC motherboard support this graphics card?
And, if it doesnt, what will?
 
Any motherboard that supports regular PCI Express will be able to run that card, but it will be limited to the 16x bandwidth of PCI-e. It's like running an 8x AGP card in a 4x AGP slot: it'll work; the card will just be limited to 4x.

With the 8800GT, there should be little, if any, performance difference between running it in a PCI-e and PCI-e 2.0 slot. To my knowledge, the 8800GT doesn't exceed the 16x bandwidth of PCI-e.
