A PCI-E x16 slot will support any graphics card. You just have to be careful of bottlenecks. Its pointless to get a GTX260. Like others said, the 9600GSO/GT will be good enough.

I'd suggest a 9500GT ot 9600GT at most unless you upgrade your CPU

Thanks.

I am confused whether my motherboard's pci express x16 graphics conncector will support 9600gt and whether it supports GeForce GTX 260 or 9800gtx+ just for upgrading the processor.

Actually i wanna play "prince of persia" like games. What should i do?

And you have to consider the PSU ...

450 to 500 watt should do it.

I've wondered if you need PCI-E 2.0 if you have a dual PCB card like the 295.

You won't NEED it, but it might impair performance on such a high-end card. The performance hit would be even more significant in the 2 GPUs on the card communicate to each other through the PCI-e bus.
