Need help with getting a new gfx card

[krinkles619]

hey there. i currently have a pair of 9800gt's right now and i would like to get better performance from a new card. i'm looking for a graphics card in the sub-200USD range, but it needs to be able to work with my 550w power supply and i need it to exhaust a majority of it's heat out the back of my computer. also, i would like to be able to get another card in the future (after a PSU upgrade) so good sli/xfire scaling would be great. i was thinking a 6850/6870?

thanks for any help,

nice price after rebate but i must admit that the card was freaking long for a mid-range card .

@OP: just make sure your case have enough spacing to fit the card
