Whats your budget? Lowest card you should choose is the 8600GT. But I wouldnt go any lower than a 9600gso.Upgrading Graphics Card Help
About $100 no more than $250
you could get a 9800gtx, or a gtx280 or gtx260. in the ati realm there is the 4850 and 4870 that you could get. on the budget side exists the 9800gt. But with that processor, you could have any current gen gpu. good luck.
he asid no more then 250$ so GTX 260 216 Core Edition to get then
Alright thanks for the suggestions. Ill see what I can get
That's a pretty wide budget. For just over $100, you can get a 9800gt, which is a very good video card for gaming up to about 1680x1050 resolution. For $150-$180 you can get a 9800gtx or an 8800gts 512 (almost the same thing), which will give you a nice (10-20%) performance boost over the 9800gt. Like many have suggested on here, if you're willing to spend between $180-$250, you can go with the ATI HD4870, which is a great performer, or with an nvidia gtx 260 or 260 core 216. I normally don't recommend ATI because I'm a huge nvidia guy, but the HD4870 is a great value and will hold you for at least 1-2 years. What sort of monitor do you have?
I would go with the 260GTX216 card

make sure your powersupply (PSU) will be able to support your new video card because if you bought this computer from a store like futureshop/dell then most likely it will be about 300watts and wont be able to run most video cards out today.
