Single gtx 280-285 is around that budget. You could pawn off the 9800's and maybe get a gtx 295

well i was thinking about getting the gtx 285 then using one on my 9800gt's as a physics accelerator because i heard you can do that with the new drivers.....and also would a gtx 285 be much better than dual 9800gt's

but on my motherboard the gtx 295 wont work for my motherboard because my motherboard would bottleneck it

Who said that ?!
Your motherboard has PCI-E 16x slot which supports PCI-E 2.0 cards,PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 1.0 dont have alot of difference in performance,so dont worry
