Hi,

I am using ASUS P5N-D Mobo with EVGA 9800 GTX+ Graphic Card for the last 3 years.

Felt the need to change the Graphics card. The first thought that came to my mind was to go for another set of EVGA 9800 GTX+ for SLI. But unfortunately, it is no longer available in the market.

Kindly suggest me a better graphics card compatible with my MoBo as I do not wish to change the Mobo. Also I need a sound card. If a good sound card can be suggested.

My current configuration is :

1. Asus P-5N-D Mother Board
2. Intel Quad Core Q6600
3. 4 GB RAM
4. Cooler Master 650X PSU
5. Cooler Master HAF 932 Cabinet

Apologies if I have said something stupid. Many thanks in advance

The 2 best cards in that range are the GTX 760 and R9 270x, both are about the same performance. The 760 is about $50 more than the AMD 270x now days. I would recommend the 760 as it does outperform the 270x and SLI works better than XFire if you want to add another later on down the road....

EVGA has the best support and great cards...gtx 760
