I don't know much about older systems but I would buy a gtx 560 gtx 570 or a 6950 6970 to choose wich, decide budget, brand loyalty, Xfire/sli, and the games you play(if you play all of them it will even out, but if you just play one or two look at the benchmarks)

budget is not limited but i want to make sure will my PSU handle the card that i get ......
and about the games ,,,,all of them ,,, mostly COD nd BF nd NFS ,,,,,
i tend to use Nvidia more than ATI ,,,,

GTX460(1gb), 6870, GTX560Ti, 6950(2gb)

In my opinion, the GTX460(1gb) is VERY nicely priced these days, given it's performance...

If you are looking for a decent graphics card I would recommend upgrade PSU 600w might run GTX460 single, I would feel alot safer on 850w or 1000w especially if I planned on going SLI

A 1GB GTX460 or HD6870 would be great for your resolution. The only trouble is, you've got a Chokemax PSU, not likely to be able produce much more than 60% of what's on its label. You'll need a quality 500W-550W PSU. Look for full range active PFC (no little voltage switch) and at least 80+ certification for efficiency. Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, XFX, and Enermax (Lepa=Enermax too) are among the better brands.

i think am gonna go for the GTX 460,,,,,
but i don't think i have enough money to upgrade the PSU ,,,, so please can u confirm that the 600 watt isn't good enough for the 460 GTX???
nd which brand is the best ,,,, Gigavyte or EVGA or MSI ,, is there any difference between them??

My own GTX460 is a MSI "Cyclone," and I've been happy with it.
Where can you shop for parts? If Newegg, you can get a 500W Antec Earthwatts for only $55 now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371035
