A 4670 will run in all but the lowest PSU's, but we will need to know your PSU specs to recommend a good card, budget would be nice too.

Well, if you have a 965, then a nice high-end 5850 or 5870 would be nice (with the corresponding 550-650watt PSU)

 

[virgil316]

What kind of wattage is your PSU?

450 do i need a bigger one

If you are going to paste that chart for every question at least fix it and change the $95 to 9800GT instead of the 9600GT.

what ati cards should i get i got $400 should i get two $200 cards or one $400 card

 

[jyjjy]

What resolution do you use

 

[sanchz]

one $400 card is what you want. This is the 5870. You'll need a good PSU to feed it. An Antec Earthwatts 650w ($80) is a low cost, and reliable solution.

 

[sabot00]

I'll go with sanchz's suggestion, if you need to fit the GPU & the Antec PSU into $400 then you can get a 5850 instead.
