512mb 8800gts. or if you want to wait another month you can get a 9800gx2 which is way better for about $100 more.
[QUOTE=''04dcarraher'']8800GT or 8800GTS[/QUOTE]Yup, but make sure it's the 512MB version of each.
how much better will the 9800gx2 be?
9800GX2 will be 500-600 not worth it its only 30 some % faster than a 8800 GTX
[QUOTE=''04dcarraher'']9800GX2 will be 500-600 not worth it its only 30 some % faster than a 8800 GTX[/QUOTE] actually its 30% faster than the ultra. the price is supposed to be $450-$500

Make sure your current power supply can handle a better card. If it was a prebuilt and only came with onboard video, most likely won't be enough.

3870X2 is $400 if/when you can find it...
