What graphic card suits intel core 2 duo

Something in the range of an old nVidia 9800GT would be just fine. You could even go a little bit higher than that without any major bottlenecks.

More important than the CPU are your power supply, the software you wish to run, and what quality and resolution you intend to play at.

Keep in mind also that you can always get a much better GPU which will be bottlenecked by your current system, and then keep it when you eventually upgrade your CPU/mobo/Ram.

All PCI Express cards will work in all PCI Express motherboards regardless of revision (provided you have the power supply to back it up). They will just run at the interface speed of the slowest device.

forgot to mention:
Just because the 9800GT is about as fast as you can go without bottlenecking does not mean that is the card to get. Always look on the hardware charts and try and find the most modern card that has similar or slightly better performance. It will take less power, support newer software better, and generally age better over time than a card that is already old.
