I want to get a new 3D video card for my hp pavilion HP 2B5B motherboard. I need to know what I can use.

That motherboard has the H81 chipset.  It supports PCIe Gen2

 

While I do not have that exact board, I do have an H81 motherboard and I am running a Gen-3  RTX-2080Ti

According to TechPowerUp the 2080Ti requires a 600 watt power and a lot of cooling.  I have a 750 watt and a lot of fans.

 

Go here

scroll the performance windows up and down till you find a GPU in your budget and that also fits the power supply you have.

 

Possibly an RTX-4060 might work as it needs only a 300 watt power supply but it does need an unusual 12pin connector. 

HP makes on with 8 pins instead of 12 but the cost is unreal even for a used one
