Some questions before I can recommend anything:

What do you do with the PC (game or not?)? If you game, which types of games do you play?

What brand and model of PSU?

What kind of case do you have? Some of the new cards are long, so case size becomes a consideration.

What is your budget for this upgrade?

This should be a decent enough upgrade, will be able to handle games nicely up to 1080p. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

May i suggest you upgrade your PSU however? Nothing too special, maybe just a 500 - 550W unit from Antec, Corsair, Silverstone or Seasonic? I only say this because if you have a generic unbranded PSU, they are of questionable quality and if they blow then your whole system does, including your shiny new card.

The choice is yours however.
