Ok, I have an Asus P5B-E mobo that I love and adore. The thing is an overclocking fiend. But, my old 7600gt is really starting to lag behind and I think it's a good time to upgrade the gpu. The mobo is rated at 16xPci-e, can I pop in a Pci-e 2.0 8800GT or am I hosed and need a new mobo? Any help would be appreciated, if I'm limited to the standard 16x what would you think the best bang for my buck would be on a video card in the $250usd range be?

PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatible with PCI-E 1.0, so u can use a 8800GTS on P5B-E or any PCI-E 1.0 board
