Looking for a Graphics Card

My primary suggestion is to get another 9800GT for SLi, and wait till the dx11 cards come out.

Or you can go:
2xGTS250/9800GTX+ or 2xGTX260
4850x2 or 4870x2

get another 9800gt (it will be better then a single gt obviously)... and save your money and buy a new computer when new vid cards come out... i believe your CPU will limit anything over a 4870/260 (and no i am not going to use the evil "b" word)

believe that would work(replacing the CPU that is)

for the vid card...if you watch a lot of movies be looking for the ATI series(that is A LOT OF MOVIES cas they perform a little better than the GeForce series)

if you game a lot with little or moderate movie time...then i would suggest another 9800 GT(not really recomment because most games support is around 50 percent performance for twice the money) OR get the 260

i have the 260 and its amazing...playin crysis warhead max settings with 2 AA at a constant 33 FPS in jungle

hope this helps

That processor is fine just overclock it 2.8ghz+. The 9800gt at newegg seem a bit pricey ranging from 85-120$. I would just sell your current 9800gt and replace it with a gtx260 which are around 150$ and sli later when you need more power. gtx260 sli seems to high at that resolution but games such as farcry2/crysis/gta4 would benefit.

Its just more expensive for such little gains. At your resolution you don't need the top cards. 512mb of video memory is enough so 1gig would be a bit overkill. Now if you were playing at 1920x1080+ I would recommend a 1gig card. Its up to you, you could go for it but its not worth the little gain for so much more money.
