I'm planning to get new video card for my machine, but not sure which one i should get and secondly if other components (like MoBo or PSU) will support it.
These are my specs:

PSU: Thermaltake W0106RU 700W
MoBo: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX
HD: 2 X Seagate Barracuda ES ST3320620NS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
RAM: 4 X CORSAIR XMS2 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core (Black Edition)
Cooling: ZALMAN CNPS9500A

I'd appreciate any help from you experts.

Thanks.

what res are you playing on? w/ a 700W PSU you can use almost every card available today. but to know which we need to know your budget and res.

I would get like a 9800GTX+ or like a GTX 260 if your a nvidia fanboy (like me)
Or get a HD4850 or HD4870 for more peformance
But I say go with the HD4850 because its chap and it's fast

If you are going SLI get two 8800 GT's
If SLI is not important, get the AMD HD4850 or more expensive but freaking kick ass, AMD HD4870.
