I'm looking to update my graphics card, I'm playing mostly mmo's but my framerate is suffering.

My specs are:

Intel Core 2Quad cpu Q9400 @ 2.66ghz 2.93 ghz
6gb ram
550w PSU i think?
Nvida 9800gt video card
Motherboard is a foxconn G45M-S

I'm wanting to spend 100-200$

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Keeping in mind you have a PCI-E slot, think in your price range I'd look at the 7870 GPUs, they are backward compatible to PCI-E (1) and would make for a good starter GPU if you decide to upgrade the rest of the rig to a newer gen

So combining both of your responses together

Or is there other options I should be aware of?
