Please post the full PC spec so that ppl can help u out.

First is that we have to know whether u have enough juice or connectors in ur PSU for the new card.

Second is that even though u can buy the latest/best PCI-E card, ur CPU will bottleneck the GPU and won't be able to fully utilize it.

What is ur budget for new graphic card ?

Hi,
Posting two links for your reference below:

from what I could gather, an 8800 Ultra seems like a good option followed by the GTX and GTS versions
