I too am looking for a better graphics card and I think I nailed down which one I'm getting. If you really want to take the time to do some shopping around the best thing to do is go to www.newegg.com Look under video cards and use the side bar to set limits as to what your motherboard/case needs. Then go to http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ to check out the video cards you want to look at. From there compare them on newegg compare prices and what not. Also check to see if your town has a used comptuer parts store or check craigslist to see if anyone is selling computer parts. Thats what I have been doing and so far after buying all the parts and once I get the video card I want my whole rig is costing me just under $600
